Average homegroup transfer speeds?

[Archgaull]

What are your guys average home-group transfer speeds? I feel like mine is slower than it should be, but I have nothing to compare it to. From one Windows 7 machine to a Windows 10 machine, transferring a video file over wifi, I'm averaging anywhere from 300 kbps to 1 mb.

According to Speedtest.net, I have a 4.37MBps download speed, and 2.22 mbps upload speed.

That sounds about right. Homegroup for me is around 500kb/s

I don't think that your ISP download speed will be anywhere close to the homegroup transfer speed

I figured it wouldn't be as fast as wifi download speed, but man this just seems like a crawl.

When I first used homegroup, I figured there was a connection problem or interference (from phones, microwave waves, etc:It could boost the speeds by avoiding these waves.). Had a friend who got 2.0MB/s strangely

That's just how the speeds will be until there is some sort of "breakthrough" I guess

Shame. I'm assuming that will take a while, since it's probably low on the priority list for Microsoft.

Yeah, unfortunate. There are other options like mapping network drives as well, worth looking into that (may take more work though.)
