How to optimize a network drive?

[Maxusomega]

I recently put in a new router in my house and added a 4 TB Seagate USB 3.0 HDD. My router is a Nighthawk X6 R8000 and the drive is plugged into the USB 3.0 port on the router. But when im moving files i only get a 10 mbps transfer speed. Im directly connected via Ethernet, my pc says a have a 1gb connection to my router. I hooked up the drive directly to my pc via usb 3 and got a 70-80 mbps transfer speed. How do i speed it up. I know the 70-80 is unrealistic over a network but how can i get the max for my current setup? Thanks.

The most likely issue is that the data is transferred on your router flash memory instead of RAM and then written on disk through the USB interface and this causes a bottleneck. See if you have some advanced options in buffering and data transfer.

Unfortunately the most advanced option the router gives me is to change the type of media server from the Netgear readyshare thing to a standard network drive which is what I have set it on now. The whole UI is pretty locked down.
