Ok... I do appreciate this reply. :P Thanks.

So, yes... my daily driver machine is an older T430S Thinkpad laptop, probably
with a less than current WiFi chip/card... however, I was running my NAS on a
Pi 3; and just upgraded (actually still running both) to a Pi 4. My
LAN/ethernet network is all gigabit+ hardware.

So, what I think I should do is simply plug my Thinkpad into the ethernet port
and retest both the Pi 3 and the Pi 4 NAS systems and see what I get then. I,
being a fairly versed an knowledgable NEWBIE, didn't release I should be
'happy' with 12-14mb over my laptops WiFi (which again, is probably less than
current since the laptops I run are from 2012). 

I'll connect over ethernet to both the Pi NAS systems and post again with the
results, but... is this a fair and valid test that I should persue? 

I thought I would get better speeds OVER that WiFi connection I'm speaking of,
but... understand what you've stated here. :P I am, as you can tell, still
learning..


THANK YOU.
