Very slow NV+... PLEASE help!
Hi all, Sorry I know you must all be sick of this :oops: Anyway here goes. My NV+ is connected to a Linksys WAG160N (firmware updated this morning) yet i get terrible speeds. Also the pc is ...
Well for starters the WAG160N doesn't have gigabit ports, so this limits you to 10MB/s straight away. Then if you're accessing over wireless you're limited further. If your laptop is connecting at wireless G (e.g. because one of your wireless devices is wireless g and slowing things down or your laptop is wireless G) then your speeds sound about right (I assume the speeds your mentioning are MegaBytes/s not Megabits/s?). See ReadyNAS Performance Expectations
Using a USB disk involves additional overhead hence the slower speeds.
It would be best to get a new router with gigabit ethernet ports and one that does simultaneous dual-band (allowing wireless g devices to connect at g speeds and wireless n devices to connect at n speeds at the same time).
You can assign a Static IP address to the NAS, preferably assigning one to the MAC (Media Access Control) address of the ethernet NIC in the NAS in your router configuration (there should be a Static IP address list, a Reserved IP address list or something similar).
ReadyNAS Remote is useful for accessing the ReadyNAS remotely from another network. Over the local LAN the NAS is on it still involves overheads so if anything is going to be slower than not using it.
A share on the NAS, is a folder on your C volume. Like you can share a folder on your PC with your network, you can create a share on the NAS.
