Really Bad Cifs Performance

BUFFALO AirStation HighPower N300 Gigabit Wireless Router - WZR-HP-G300NH
BUFFALO AirStation HighPower N300 Gigabit Wireless Router - WZR-HP-G300NH

Pros: Wireless N , did not test, couldn't get passed wired testing.

Cons: Gigabit speed, not gigabit to a Iomaga NAS StorCenter ix4-200d. I was getting 100-300KB speeds, unless I copied a large ISO ( 10GB) from the nas(tired teamed, failover and load balance, and single nic on the nas), then I would get 20 MB. Funny thing, is that the same file back I would only get a 100-300 KB transfer rate. Tested from a Windows 7 64 bit device, with dual GB nic's, and six 1 TB drives in raid 5. and a older windows vista 64 bit device. Same results. Tested NAS Speeds prior with a Linksys gig switch with 30-20 MB both directions.

Overall Review: Contacted tech support, indicated I upgraded to firmware 1.72, requested a 1.65 firmware downgrade, and they indicated that they did not have access to older firmware. I also asked if they have seen this problem, and they said no. I even tried reflashing the firmware, resetting the device etc. Tech support also indicated there where no wired speed settings for turning etc.

Works well
