What's happened to the speed?

I've been using Buffalo NAS for a few years now, and the network speed has always been pretty decent. Needed to expand on my storage and recieved my new LS-V4.0TL today. Hooked it up, set the backup to run and good grief is it slow. The other NAS units I have (Link station Gigabit and USB extension) can run a full Acronis image backup for this system in about 5-6 hours (roughly 120 GBs of data in all). The new one is currently at 9% after 4 hours diretly plugged into the router (the others are on a hub on the same network). That's awful.

 

So, what happened to the speed over a local network? This is far too slow to be of any use at all, and I'd already returned an even slower unit to Newegg (losing about $40 in restocking fees) to get this one to replace it. Is there a way to fix this, or am I stuck with another return and loss here?

It's on firmware 1.62, so went to the downloads and grabbed 1.64. When I run it, it only finds the older NAS and not this new one, with no way to change which device to update. The new device is found in NasNavigator just fine.

Could probably use some suggestions on that as well.
