Slow network after ReadyNAS firmware updates
ReadyNAS 316 Firmware version: 6.6.0 (latest)
Netgear Nighthawk router (R7000), firmware version: 1.0.7.2_1.1.93 (latest)
Windows 10 (two different PCs)
MAC OS X 10.11.6
Access to mapped drives on the NAS is crushingly slow. Click on folders and I get the Windows blue 'waiting for' circle for many seconds, sometimes minutes, sometimes never connecting. When logging on, the drives map to NAS shares, but often disconnect for no apparent reason.
Any suggestions to get network drive access back to previous acceptable speeds would be greatly appreciated.

What firmware were you running before the firmware update?
If you haven't tried restarting the NAS, then start there.
- I keep the NAS current on FW, so the most recent version was 6.5.? (don't know the specific sub-version number).
- After installing the latest update, the system rebooted. I rebooted again and it seems that it's running better now; don't know why.
