Wow my NAS is slow

I'm just backing up my files from my hard drive onto my nas at ~10MB/s wirelessly which isn't too bad (might get powerline/move network into my room).

I am now moving my private backup movies and music to the public media folder for others in my household to use but it is only copying the 2 sets of files at a max speed of 5MB/s (in total, not each).

 

Why is it so slow now when it's not to do with wireless?

What if it IS to do with wireless? Or your router/whatever the hell you use is bad at handling the loads for transferring information.

My guess is the CPU inside the NAS is just that slow. Or it is the wireless. Have you tried it on a wired connection?

It could be this.

It could also just be your NAS. Please give NAS specifications.

Well I'm just copying a file located on the nas to another directory on the nas as well. The only thing I am doing wirelessly is teeling it what to do.

I haven't tried it with a wired connection, but ill try doing this and get back to you.

Is it one drive or two? The NAS hardware itself might also be slow.

A single drive, I have updated to the latest version of the software.. Is there a way I can test read speeds because maybe it just sucks at writing?

You could plop the drive in your computer and run a hdd benchmarking software on it?

I'll try doing this wired first, because that drive's staying in my nas and I doubt anything is wrong with it though.
