Since upgrading my network backbone from a Netgear FS526T 10/100 switch to a Netgear ProSafe GS116 16-port Gigabit Switch, wireless speeds on both the Vista Notebook (Atheros AR5007EG) and my Windows 7 Tablet (Intel Pro 2915ABG) to and from my ReadyNAS NV+ have gone to rock bottom. We're talking 15k a second or less speeds, with frequent dropouts. The Vista machine has been sat for half an hour already just trying to connect to the printer on the ReadyNAS. I'm not impressed one bit.
My router is a Netgear WGR614V9. Setting the MTU to 1430 on the wireless machines used to cure the problem, but not any more. I tried 1460 too and that made no difference. Help anyone? I'm using ALL Netgear networking gear in my network and getting lousy speeds from a Netgear branded product, that sucks!
Wireless speeds are faster than ever, but why is Wifi so difficult for the ReadyNAS? After all these years this problem STILL rears its head, COME ON NETGEAR!
