Hi all!

I had an issue and I found a fix! In short, transferring files to my Nexus 7 over wireless from a NAS box on my LAN is very slow (<100KB/s) when going to the tablet, but fine (1.5MB/s) in the other direction! Interestingly, only LAN traffic was affected. I could run Speedtest on the tablet and get over 20Mbps in both directions.

I am on the latest version (3.0.0.4.354.29) on an AC66U using the 2.4GHz radio with WPA2 Personal and AES. (This was in .28 as well.)

So, after trying a few things, I set "Enable HW Accelerator" to Off under LAN - Switch Control and now I get 1.5MB/s in both directions!

Is this safe to leave off? At the very least, I hope this helps someone else!
