I have turned off IPV6 and will try another copy. If I see it bogging down again, I will just abort it instead of running it the entire 3 hours has I have been.
I used to be very comfortable with Unix, but it's been many, many years. Without instructions, I doubt I could figure out top.
Will the other 2 gentlemen see this link because you added their names or do I need to contact them individually?

The @ should give them a notification. But it does no harm to send them a private message and ask for their help. Use the envelope icon on the upper right of the forum for that.
I thought I'd close this discussion with the final outcome.
I did open a ticket with Netgear. They did replace the unit. But it was still dreadfully slow. It must be something in their OS that makes writes of small files dreadfully slow. I even tried it on a high end Windows PC. Same slow speeds.
And I did once again verify that I did not have these slow speeds with an old Buffalo NAS that I still had lying around. I got between 30-45 MB/second with that vs the 1 MB/second with the Netgear NAS.
So I ended up purchasing a 5-bay USB-C drive enclosure to connect to my Mac. Of course, I get blazing speeds with this.
For now, I've put some old 3TB drives into the RN3138 and I've relegated it to be a backup NAS for my small computers.
If/when they ever fix this issue, I might come back. But I don't expect that to ever happen.
