I have repeated the process multiple times to verify. If I restart the network-manager service my internet speed goes back to less than 5. Once the automount starts and I start browsing files on my server though, everything slows down to between 1 and 5 mbits per second (this includes internet). When I start from a fresh reboot I get usable internet speeds of about 30mbit. The slowdown seems to impact more than just my NFS transfer rates. I understand that I will never get close to the marketing 300mbit numbers but I feel like 80 - 100 transfer rates should be a reasonable expectation and this would also make it more than usable on a daily basis. I also like to sit on my couch browsing on my laptop while its also acting as a server for media that I am watching on TV so being untethered is preferable.

I already have the server connected via Gbit ethernet but hardwiring the client isn't feasible because I don't have an ethernet port near my desk. Plex has a webpage interface that you can access from any computer. PuTTY or some other SSH client will allow you to access the Mint box easily. Initially I had 'access denied' problems with mount but I fixed that by enabling NFSv4 in the service options (a tip thats not in the docs, btw). Yes, but most linux remote admin is done with the command line. For now, Id at least like to move some of the media that Ive ripped on my local Linux Mint 20 machine to the NAS, but Im stuck. WiFi performs great in marketing numbers only. If your NAS server runs linux this is very smooth (mounting remote drives in linux has been done for ages).
