I have a weird one.
Asus RT-AC66U_B1 router.
WD EX2 Ultra NAS
Internal network is running fine. Communication speeds consistent with a gigabit network.
Speedtest.net gives a 20MB Down/5MB up transfer speed for my home network.
Speedtest.net gives a 10MB Down/2MB up transfer speed for a remote network. (I have tried three different remote networks, each with different ISP's)
The problem. . . if I try to stream (say, using PLEX) from my NAS on my home network to a PC on the remote network, I consistently see a really low transfer speed (Resulting in stuttering video)
IF I try a simple file transfer (connected via VPN to my ASUS router), I see 400-800 kps transfer speed
Using the WD.com website from outside my network results in similar speeds.
Now, on the router I see the QOS-WAN/LAN bandwidth monitor. The monitor is showing the NAS transferring at 3-5MBS. . . consistent with speed test limit for upload on my home network. HOWEVER, the files appear to be transferring at the paltry 400-800kbps speed.
Any thoughts?
