So currently I have an Asus AC1300 router, setup as an access point on my network. I have a 2tb Seagate external hard drive connected to the single usb port on the router and it is being shared over the network using SMB. I am seeing very slow speed when reading or writing to the drive. When connected directly to a PC via USB 3.0 in crystal disk mark I was seeing reeds and writes of around 120MB/s and the same speeds when copying a test file onto and off of the drive. When the drive is connected over the network via USB 3.0 into the router the speeds in crystal diskmark are about 38MB/s read and write, and 30MB/s when copying a test file to the drive from a pc that is connected via Ethernet directly to the router.
I do not have very much experience with networking or network attached storage. Is there some setting that I have missed. Also the PC used for testing the drive over the network has a 1 Gigabit NIC so that is not the bottleneck.
