How am I only getting 3MBps sending files to my NAS?

    I am transferring files from my windows PC to my Synology NAS.
    My network has a 1GB switch in the sitting room and a 1GB switch in the sideroom (where the NAS is) but transferring a file (with a wired connection) gets me 3MBps.

    Is there any way to indentify the bottle neck?

    Thanks

    Do the LED indicators on the switches indicate that you are connected at the 1Gb(not GB) rate on all ports involved?

    See if you can connect directly from the PC to the NAS and test the speed
    Then repeat via a single switch
    Finally repeat via the other switch

    This should help narrow things down.

    If its 3Mbps, then its probably a bad link bringing it down to 10Mbps/Half.
    If its 3MBps, might just be a slow NAS. Easiest way to tell is to just wire directly into it and read/write to it.
