Hi there,
I have a setup at home with a Qnap TS-251 as a NAS and am experiencing slow transfer rates (and almost no Internet connectivity while I'm transferring data to the NAS).
This is my current setup:
Speeds I usually get:
I have two problems with this: 1) the data transfer to the NAS being at 5 MB/s seems very slow to me. The Qnap should easily have write speeds of up to 100 MB/s. Problem 2) is that once I start the data transfer from my Windows machine to the NAS I have literally no Internet access (Internet speed tests then show 200-400 KB/s) for as long as I am copying data to the NAS.
What's my bottleneck? Is it the powerline connection? Shouldn't I be able to transfer data at 5 MB/s and still have plenty of room to have full speed Internet access? Do I have wrong Ethernet settings? What am I missing?
Any hints are much appreciated! Thanks!!

Qnap TS 251 NAS connected via Ethernet directly to main router
Qnap NAS includes 2x 4TB Western Digital Red HDDs set up as Raid
Windows PC, in another room connected via Ethernet (via Zyxel powerline adapter)
Macbook Pro, connected wireless
Speeds I usually get:
Macbook Pro Internet speed test usually around 50-100 Mbps, depending on location
Windows PC Internet speed test usually around 25-50 Mbps
Data transfer from Windows PC to NAS at max 5 MB/s
