Do you have any friends that have laptops that can come over and plug into your network and try on a different PC? – or you might consider taking your MBL to a friend’s house and setting it up on their network?
I cannot imagine what would cause performance as pathetic as what you’re seeing.
Generally when people say it’s slow, they’re getting only 5-10 megabytes per second. You’re getting 1/100th of that.
I, however, get 10x that (50-60 megabytes per second.)
The above is more or less to try to narrow down where the issue might be.
Here’s another idea: Test a “local copy.”
Log in via SSH to the MBL.
Locate a fairly large file on the MBL (10 megabytes or large) in the SHARES folder:
Make a copy of the file via command line.
For example, I have a video file in /shares/Public folder. I’d do the following commands:
cd /shares/Public
time cp Video.mkv Video2.mkv
When it’s complete, it’ll output something like this:
real 0m0.000s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.000s
Tell us what the “real” value is, and the size of the file you copied (in bytes.)
If THIS test is really bad, then you might have a bad HD inside the MBL, and the system should be replaced.
