Posted: Sat May 29, 2010 15:49 Post subject: Why are my transfer rates so low?
So I just setup my new Asus RT-N12 router with DD-WRT v24-SP2 mini. It is working well, but the copy speed between computers seems slow. I 150Mbps 802.11N wireless connection on my laptop and a 100Mbps Ethernet connection on my desktop. I only get 2MB/s when copying files between them. I have tried to optimize my wireless speed by selecting a channel that is open, using 40MHz channel width, using only WPA2 etc. What else can I do to increase the transfer speed?
Both run Windows 7 X64, I am copying a video file, and my laptop is an Asus N61 i7 802.11N and the other is my desktop with is a Intel based computer with gigabit lan but limited to 100Mbps by the router
I noticed the same problem when I ran some tests on my WRT610N v1, except all my tests focused on Internet speed. My connection is 50/10 and I get that when connected through Ethernet to the switch, but on Wireless N even sitting right in front of the router and on both 2.4 and 5.2 bands (tested with 40MHz, 20MHz, and encryption enabled/disabled) - maximum download I can achieve is 20Mbps. Something must be up because I used to hit the cap on wireless. _________________ Linksys WRT610N v1 -

Do you have QoS on and set to LAN&WLAN instead of WAN? _________________ Read the forum announcements thoroughly! Be cautious if you're inexperienced.
