Ultra 4 Transfer speed very slow.
Hi all. I have a RNDU4000 with 2x3TB WD When I connect the NAS directly to my PC with CAT5 cable both the nas and pc is telling me the connection is 1GigaBit/s when I copy files to the nas the spee...
WiFi speed depends a lot on the distance, walls, etc and how much radio activity (interference). Link speed is very deceptive. In any event, you are certainly not limited by the NAS performance on your wifi connection. You can try changing channels, or even switch to 2.4 ghz band. inSSIDer is a good tool for looking at competing WiFi activity, though it will not show you interference from other stuff (microwaves, bluetooth, etc).
Also, it seems unlikely that you were getting 15 MB/s with your 108 mb/s router, as Super-G (and its cousins) has a theoretical limit of about 60 mb/s throughput, and is usually less. That would be 7-8 MB/s tops. Perhaps there is caching going on in the PC?
On the wired connection - are you using a desktop PC or a laptop? What NIC card? Also, you should be using CAT-5e or CAT-6, not CAT5.
