Slow data transfer to network storage device. Explanations?

Asked by dpworkin (27085points) October 31st, 2009

I have a NAS on my network connected by ethernet, and I am transferring files to it from another computer which connects to the network through 802.11n, with “excellent” signal.

Can anyone explain why I am only getting about 325 Kb/s throughput? Or what I might need to check or reconfigure to speed things up? At this rate my backup will take 427 hours.
