Hello everyone,
I recently got a new desktop PC (so I can leave my gaming laptop at work and use desktop at home) and have been spending hours and hours, reading everywhere how to transfer files FASTER that the mega ultra super SLOW speeds I am currently getting when moving files from my Laptop to my new Desktop.
I have tried several things, but cannot get speeds hire that 1.5 Mb/sec and I have about 250 GB to transfer to the new PC
(which at that speed would take who knows how much time to finish..).
One thing I did was to download and use IPERF to check both network cards speed. Latptop with Windows 7 is around 450 Mbps (theoretical 55 MB/sec transfers) and PC is around 900 Mbps (theoretical 110 MB/sec transfers).
Laptop: Realtek PCIe Family Controller
Desktop: Qualcomm Atheros Killer e2200 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30)
Already tried playing with and adjusting settings in both computers / network adapters:
- Jumbo Frame (from disabled to 9KB MTU)
- Large Send Offload IPv4 and IPv6 (enabled, disabled, etc.)
- Speed & Duplex (different speeds, finally left it to Auto Negotiation)
- IPERF tests
- and some others that can't remember right now...
I have not been able to find a solution for this yet. It is funny as 15 years ago I used to connect computers on our LAN games sessions and with the super old Windows versions had not trouble getting the max speeds on the cards but now, after many years of not having a Desktop, this is being kind of frustrating, not been able to get at least the Laptop Ethernet max speed of 450 Mbps
Does anyone know where could I get some good info. on how to fix this or can anyone help me out on this one?
Thanks to anyone that can help!!
Cheers!
