He's not wrong.  The Netgear ReadyNAS doesn't even actually use full
gigabit speeds, much less tenfold.  Well, it actually might -now-.  Didn't
used to.  It could be a cabling issue, as I recently changed cables because
one -broke- at the RJ-45 adapter, but my NAS -used- to be about equally
fast on gigabit ethernet directly into the tower, and over WiFi (802.11ac
circa 2012).  Seriously.  Used to be capped around 50MB/sec, or about half
a gigabit.  I was always very disappointed in that.

It's improved now, but it's still not slurping a full 960mbit.  More like
~750-800-ish when I've watched it going full-bore.  Ironically, since
updating to WiFi 6, I could -still- make it as fast on WiFi, because I
can push at least 942mbit over that.  (AX2000 chips are incredible.)

I actually backup the laptop over WiFi, to the NAS mounted directly on my
tower.  It all works quite respectably these days.
