Problem solved!
I have changed my Netgear WNR3500 router for a Linksys WRT610N. Changed back MTU setting to 1500 and enabled jumbo frames.
Performance went up extremely!
I have tested wireless speed by copying a large movie from my ReadyNas Duo to my Sony laptop.
With the Netgear router: 2,5 - 3 Mb/s.
With the Linksys router: 8 - 8,5 Mb/s.
My decision of using products from the same manufacturer did not seemed to be the best one. In my opinion there must be a problem depending on the type or brand of router used. I have not changed settings (only port forwarding en wireless security). This Linksys router had been tested as the best value for money in several tests in several countries. As long as Netgear can't provide a solution for this problem, this Linksys router is a very good choice!
