Transferring files from MyCloud home very slow

[NoPlex]

1 - Force a gigabit connection of 1000MBps in the properties of your network card. 2 - Connect your HD directly to your network card. 3 - Share the internet from your WI-Fi connection with your network card, this will allow your HD to work locally. 4 - Once this is done you will have an average connection of 30MB~60MBps, however it is not just a connection problem.

The quoted really has little to do with the My Cloud Home (MCH). The recent firmware has improved throughput to the MCH HDD to the point which is similar to that of a typical (slow) 5400rpm HDD share on GbE (ethernet). The original USB suggestion above still stands however, since the MCH is capable of ~300 MBps write to a fast SSD USB3.

18.5MB transfer speeds on gigabit LAN

Good job WD. The development team deserve some appreciation on the recent effort on firmware improvement. Firmware 8.12.0-178 has a Dashboard enabled SMB share that is the new password shareable SMB volume as well as online shareable and linkable space, so the old limitation has been removed. The speed is reasonable for an entry level NAS (100 MB/s for read write large files).
