Thanks for the tip Jellen (and "ohter user") !
On my Vista laptop I also suffered from very sloowww access to my ReadyNAS Duo through WAN. I solved it using your tip:
1. Determine my ideal MTU setting: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/5793
Ideal MTU turned out to be 1490 for my Vista laptop
2. Change MTU setting of my laptop with your link above (http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/vistaMTU.htm)
Result:
ReadyNAS Duo MTU: 1500
Vista Laptop MTU: 1490
==> No more issues accessing ReadyNAS
Only strange thing: if I determine my ideal MTU with the new setting it turns out to be 1480. Strange, it seems to decrease with the same amount I decreased my MTU setting. Does anybody understand this ?
For completeness some connection speeds:
WLAN (54 Mbps)
Laptop Vista --> ReadyNAS: 21 Mbps (after rebooting my entire network !)
Laptop Vista --> desktop XP: 10 Mbps
desktop XP --> ReadyNAS: 21 Mbps
LAN (100 Mbps):
Laptop Vista --> ReadyNAS: 100 Mbps
