Get a small switch and link your pc, nas and router to the switch, therefore access to the NAS will bypass router.

good proposal - this is the way in all and every case
the router should just be one more member of the switch centered LAN

wortelsoft: I can't adjust the port speed of router or my NAS but I did try 100 FD, 100HD and Auto on my HTPC and this did not make a difference.

Any more ideas??

As suggested above a switch would be your best option allows direct access to your NAS without going through the router.
