RN214 Firmware 6.10.1: Slow Transfer Speed

I recently setup an RN214 NAS with Firmware 6.10.1 using 4 WD SATA 8TB Drives in RAID 5 configuration.  I started transferring large movie files onto the NAS via Windows Explorer, but was only getting transfer of 10MBPS.  After reading so of the other discussions, I replaced my old 100MBPS Router with a new 1000MBPS router, but it only increased transfer speeds to 37MBPS.  What can I do to increase my transferspeed?

Can you run a benchmark with NasTester?  http://www.808.dk/?code-csharp-nas-performance

 

Also, is the PC connected with gigabit ethernet or with wifi?

 

It'd be helpful if you download the log zip file and post network_settings.log here.  (cut and paste it into a post).

Thanks for your assistance, but the problems seems to have fixed itself. My transfer speed has increased to 88mbps to 150mbps range.

Great.

 

Though you can't actually get 150 MB/sec on a single gigabit connection - you are likely seeing the effects of caching on anything over ~110 MB/sec.
