Ubee DDW365 - Slow speeds using USB for NAS

[Ursader]

Hello,

I'll try to make this short and sweet. At home I have Cox internet with a Ubee DDW365 wireless gateway. Using an old laptop sata drive + enclosure, I've connected it to the Ubee device and set it up so I can FTP to the device remotely. This part is working fine.

Where I have the problem is that it seems that the Ubee device is limiting the speed to the drive at around 3Mb/s (375k/s). It bounces between 325-375. Directly connected to a computer the drive gets about 20-25MB. I'm trying to use the drive as a temporary means to backup data on a server I have hosted on a 100/100 connection. If I try to download the file directly from a computer I have no problem getting speeds around 30-35Mb.

I was wondering if there's a known issue with this particular device, or perhaps a setting I just keep overlooking? I have tried two different enclosures, two different drives, and multiple cables. The only thing I haven't tried is a name brand external (WD, Toshiba, etc..).

I should probably also note that trying to retrieve the information off the drive takes almost equally as long. A 2GB file took approx. 30 minutes to pull off, for example.

Thanks in advance,
Tristan

There are a few routers with USB drive sharing that are really slow. See if there is an update to the firmware for your device. If it's still slow just share out the USB drive off another computer and copy the files to that.

There's not - I forgot to mention I checked that as well. Ultimately I'll have a dedicated NAS setup to receive those backups, but since it affects the WMM stuff as well I'd like it to be able to stream things to other devices as it is intended.
