Network Speed

[S3phi40T]

Hey guys! I'm trying to troubleshoot why my speed on OMV is so unbearably slow

I'm doing 1-3mbps over wifi, and I can't begin to think why it's so slow, especially after seeing so many messages with the slowest speed being at least 14mbps

My setup- 
Rock64 1GB with jessie-openmediavault-rock64-0.5.15-136-armhf.img installed on an SD card
I have an external USB 3.0 HDD plugged into a powered USB 3.0 hub
I've configured SMB/CIFS, and can't do NFS because of my operating system (Windows 8.1)

If I can get speeds even close what you all have (I'd honestly even be happy with 30mbps at this point), that'd make my day

Thanks for the help!

Wooow man, you are touching very fragile point in here.
Wi-Fi has numerous conditions to work on acceptable level even on professional equipment.

First of all quality of your router, cards, device/antena position, power consumption, drivers, neighbours etc.
Couple practical advises from router perspective / N standard usage:
- put your router as high as possible
- find free/less crowded chanel (you can use some software on your phone) - feel free to test every chanel from 1 to 13 - whatever gives you good connection.
- enable 40mhz wide bandwidth (you are literally enabling 2nd chanel so if your client supports it, you are enabling twice faster connection) and make sure your client has it also enabled as well as any power saving features disabled (decreased speed for less power consumption)
- Do not ever use TKIP or TKIP+AES encryption (use AES only) for password as TKIP messes N-standard speed.

Post your hardware (router, clients, how they are connected etc.).
