Any other thoughts? Shouldn't I be expecting 50MB/s+ transfer rates across my own home network, not 3.5-5.0MB/s?

What is the exact router and exact WiFi?

These are basically the maximum (not realistic) WiFi speeds to expect:

code:
Standard 		Rate 	
Classic WaveLAN 	250 kB/s 	
IEEE 802.11 		250 kB/s 	
RONJA (full duplex) 	1.25 MB/s 	
IEEE 802.11a 		6.75 MB/s 	
IEEE 802.11b 		1.375 MB/s 	
IEEE 802.11g 		6.75 MB/s 	
IEEE 802.16  		8.75 MB/s 	
IEEE 802.11n 		75 MB/s 	
IEEE 802.11ac 	 	850–866.25 MB/s
IEEE 802.11ad  		892.5–900 MB/s

The router is : https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Nighthawk-AC1900-Gigabit-Router/dp/B00F0DD0I6

Are you saything that the theoretical maximum of the AC wifi is around 850MB/s? Please god let me fix this so I can transfer files quickly. [at least at the maximum speed of the HDD sending the media].

850MB/s is the theoretical max speed for the standard under ideal conditions with hardware that you're not using. Your router has a max of ~1300Mbps or ~162.5 MB/s (it won't be this fast though).

Make sure your router is on the latest firmware and that it's set to 5GHz, 1300 Mbps mode.
