Is this because of my Apple router?

It took 20 minutes to the transfer. I could have done this far more quickly via a thumb drive connected to the USB 2 port on the iMac. Crazy!

Probably not.
Assuming 240 Mb/s which is half the rated speed of USB 2...this is 30 MB/s.

4.54 GB is 4540 MB.

4540 MB/30 MB/sec = 151 seconds transfer time.

I get this speed all the time.
