So I got that Anker usb gogabit adapter everyone is raving about and still got only 40mbps to my NAS... Just insane really. Step by step I removed portions of the network to see where i lose speed: iperf to the first router via wired shows 300mbps (great), adding powerline adapters that connect another router in the next room brings that down to 70mbps (although powerline adapters are syncing at over 1000mbps, being rated 2000mbps), further if add gigagate to another floor where NAS is I get it down to 40mbps. Not a single portion of the network is that slow, yet its just not working for me. I could even understand if that amount of steps is just slowing it down with some sort of compatibility issue (or some sort of MTU problem), but wirelessly I get over 200mbps using the same first router as AP. I just don't get it. I'm getting very close to giving up on 4K stuff...
