A folder in shares I'm seeking to "recover" to a computer on my wired Win10 network is grayed out. I would be able to download individual files from this folder, but I need to recover the entire folder or directory (it contains over 1000 individual files).
I can't use Win Explorer to copy or transfer files from NAS to a networked computer.
Why not?
Have you tried entering \\nas-name or \\nas-ip-address in the explorer address bar? (use the real hostname or IP address of course, and be careful to use the correct slash direction).
Resetting the permissions under the File Access tab didn't work. And actually a few of my folders have the "recover" grayed out.
And yes, I'm trying to move the NAS files and directories onto a new computer on my network.
Can you post of screen shot on where you are looking for "Recover". I am wondering if you are confusing copying files with the NAS snapshot recovery feature.

Does it make sense for the transfer speed to be 10/MBs over cat5, cat 5e, or cat6 through a 1000/MBs switch??
Cat 5e or better is what you should be using.
Large files can be copied up to about 100 MB/second if you are copying to an CMR hard drive (internal or USB-3).
But many desktop and USB mechanical drives drives are now SMR, and copying large files to an SMR drive will be a lot slower than 100 MB/s.
Folders with a lot of small files will also transfer much slower than 100 MB/s. 10 MB/s is certainly on the slow side, but there are some scenarios where you can see transfer speeds in that range.
