Hello Everyone,
I am simply trying to figure out why on the god's green earth I am not getting maximum file transfer rate. I will explain my exact set up so all of you genius people can get a clear image of the problem. Here is the connection of hardware in order:
1). A computer running nas4free on AMD 2.4GHz with 3 GB RAM includes two hard drives. SAMSUNG SP2504C and WD200EB-00BHF0. The samsung 250GB one is SATA II i believe and 7200 RPM. Let's not even focus on the older WD for this problem. I do not have any raid system. Just those drives for some minor file savings.
2) Linksys E2500 router connected to motorolla modem. Got Time Warner Cable at 16 Mbps (2 MBps). Computer running nas4free and router are connected via cat5e cable.
Based on my obvious research, E2500 is capable of 300 Mbps (37.5 MBps).
3) Custom built PC with intel i3-4130, Samsung 840 evo 120GB SSD, 8GB ram running on windows 8.1 pro. This PC is connected to the E2500 router wirelessly. The wireless card I am using is TP-LINK N600 which is also capable of 300 Mbps (37.5 MBps). WiFi Status shows 4 strong bars, connected to 5gbz band, and speed says 300 Mbps (37.5 MBps).
Awesome. Pretty simple right? Everything running pretty smooth. Alright, now i open up my nas folder on the PC, copy a folder of approximately 500 MB size FROM PC TO server, and the max transfer rate is about 5 MBps. That btw fluctuates though. Okey, no problem. May there is something wrong with the wireless setting. I try to go for wired connection. I connect a cat5 ethernet cable from PC to router, check the max speed of ethernet connection before transfer and it shows 100 Mbps (12 MBps), makes sense since cat5 can only handle 100 Mbps. I transfer a file to the samsung 250 GB on server, and max transfer rate i get is like 7ish MBps.
Thank you very much in advance!
