I have a small home wired network setup. Two desktop computers connected to a desktop server - Windows 7 & Server 2008.
My hub is a DLink DIR-655 Extreme Gigabit router and all computers are running with gigabit network cards. Wire is CAT5.
Hard drives in all computers are at least 7200rpm - some are 10000 rpm, hybrid or solid state and all are SATA3 at least.
When I reboot everything, I get file transfer speeds to and from the server at around 60-80 MB/sec. After files are transferring for a bit, I get only kb to 1.1 MB/sec.
I have disconnected all wireless devices - am not on the internet - and still, it goes SOOOO slow.
I don't want to have to keep rebooting just to transfer files. Eventually, I want to connect media players/TVs to the server and be able to stream throughout the house. With rates this slow, that won't prove to be very happy.
I have browsed through several of the posts here already and even tried a number of fixes - nothing has helped.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
