I'm running the ReadyNAS 102 with Firmware 6.4.2, accessing it from a Mac OS 10.10.5.  I'm having trouble with the performance where when I open a folder, it could take a couple of minutes for the contents to display.  Both are connected by wire to a Netgear R7000 router.   There is also a Win10 laptop which is running wireless, which can display the contents of the folders in seconds.  

 

Thank you

Hi brosnahan1114,

 

Is Antivirus enabled? In MAC, you can use two file sharing protocols  (namely SMB/CIFS and AFP) in accessing your files.

 

 

Kind regards,
