What can be causing my network to run at such slow data transfer speeds? Could it be the Cisco RV042 Router?
Router: Cisco RV042
Switch: Netgear XS712T 10GB 12-Port;
Server: Two (2) Intel Xeon E5620 @2.4GHz CPUs w/24GB RAM running on Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit, Intel SSD 480GB, SATA2, RAID 1
Network Card: Intel X540-T2 Ethernet Converged 10GB Dual Port Network Adapter
PCIe v2.1 (Each 10GB Port has been Link Aggregated (Teamed) on the X540-T2 Network Adapter and XS712T Switch.
--Flow Control = Rx & Tx is "Enabled"
--Interrupt Moderation Rate = "Off"
--Low Latency Interrupts = "None"
--Receive Buffers = "2048"
--Transmit Buffers = "2048"
Test xfer file: Windows 8.1 iso (size = 3.55GB)
Test file is copied from Server to Workstation with initial xfers speed of 500MB/sec but then it drops down to 300 MB/sec
Workstation: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo T9500 @2.6MHz w/16GB RAM running on Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bit, Samsung SSD 850 Pro 1TB, SATA2

--Transmit Buffers = "2048"
Test xfer file: Windows 8.1 iso (size = 3.55GB)
Test file is copied from Workstation to Server with a consistent xfer speed of 207MB/sec for the entire file.
I have two other workstations equipped with StarTech 10GB single port PCIe Network card which are also connected to the Netgear XS712T switch.
There is a Netgear G724T 24-Port 1GB switch that is daisy chained to the XS712T 10GB switch. The are approximately 12 workstations connected to the G724T 1GB switch. Each workstation has a PCIe 1GB network card.
