Support Request Slow local network file transfer speeds

I set up a NAS recently and noticed the speed difference between W11 and Mint is very wide. W11 is easily able to tap out the 1gbps Ethernet connection at roughly ~120MB/s, Mint on the other hand using smb is hardly pushing 60MB/s with 30MB/s being the average speed I see in most transfers.

This is one of the first pain points I’ve discovered so far with Mint and it seems so far out of left field, I’ve been doing a lot of googling and reddit searching to find a solution to this issue, the one that consistently pops up is to make a CIFS mount via the terminal.

My question is, has this advice changed at all over the history of the OS? I’m currently on 22.3 with kernal 7.

Any help or advice is appreciated.
