Slow Network Transfer Speeds

Admittedly I am not extremely proficient with networking.  I have a home network with a couple of computers, two 2 TB NAS drives, wireless printing, and I have my blue ray player configured to stream movies off of the NAS drives to the TV.  So I handle a lot of high def movie files that I transfer from the computer to the hard drives.  It can take hours or even days to move files.

 

I am running the Netgear WNR3500Lv1 with the Kong 19545 build.  My speeds have already tripled with the firmware upgrade.  The NAS drive is a 2 TB WD Mybook Live running to the router through a Cat 5e cable.  The computer is a Dell Inspiron 1525 with a 100 MB/S LAN (also a 802.11G Wireless).

 

It doesn't matter if I have the computer connected to the router wirelessly or through the LAN (cat 5e).  I never get transfer speeds greater than 920 KB/s.

the network sharing center shows my connection on the LAN at 100 MB/s and the wireless is 54 MB/s

I know you guys probably see a bunch of new guys posting questions like this all the time and it probably gets exhausting, but I have done the searching to try to figure out why the slow speeds and I just haven't been able to make any difference.

 

Thanks in advance,
