Unable to change MTU, Readynas 104 OS6.4.1
I was attempting to adjust my MTU down from 1500 to 1472 or 1483 in order to troubleshoot network performance issues, and the UI rejected the changes with Error 4004019998. Does anyone know what ...
Despite StephenB attempt to clarify, I'm pretty sure there is still an issue with the measuring unit.
Speedtest gives the speed in Mbps, not in MBps... Unless you specifically ask it to use Bytes, and then I believe it gives KBps, not MBps.
170Mbps / 20Mbps is a good but common Internet connection. Usual on cable connection.
170MBps / 20MBps is a very very good Internet connection, not very common. Usually (real) fiber connection. And you wouldn't even be able to see the benefit of it (from a single machine) without a 10Gbps connection to both the Internet ONT and your machine. Also I doubt you'd be using an RN104 if you had a 10Gbps capable switch.
8MBps up is weird though. 8MBps out of a 20MBps connection wouldn't be that bad, but could happen. 8MBps out of a 20Mbps connection is not possible, unless calculation error.
How are you measuring the transfer speed from NAS?
Could you share screenshots of your tests?

I understood him to say that his internet connection is nominally 150/15 mbits, and that he measures 170/20 mbits with speedtest.net.
Also that his NAS speed measurement is 8 megabytes per second.

That's why I asked about the direction (uploading to the NAS, or downloading from the NAS).

It's useful to know these in addition to the questions I asked above.
