However when I tried to wirelessly transferred a folder containing image files from my desktop to the laptop, the speed was about kbps. When I tried to transfer a mb mp3 audio file from my desktop to the laptop, the transfer speed was about 2 Mbps. When I then transfer an audio file from the Laptop to the desktop, the transfer speed was kbps! This thread is locked.

In reply to Vijay Korupolu M's post on February 23, When I clicked on 3. Which there is going to be overhead, quite a bit of it to be honest.. On a mbit wired connecting using very fast cpu, disk, nics, etc. I would say you should be able to get and sustain close to But 12, I don't think so to be honest not at mbit.
Now if your on a mbit network gig then 12 is SLOW! You should be seeing well over 20 closer to 30 with even the cheapest of machines and hdds and network cards.. As you can see I was got over 80MBps doing a file copy from one machine to another.. If your at mbit wired connection and your seeing 12 thats pretty slow. And to be honest I don't feel its possible on a mbit network to see that -- so you must be on wired gig?
Ok so now we know your connected at G speeds.. So what speeds are you seeing?? Do a simple file copy test and time it.. And we can tell you if its fast or slow for a wireless G connection. How long does yours take? I would say it is most likely his wireless in some form. That being said, do not doubt BudMans' words, I am sure he can be wrong, but he has answered my questions extremely accurately in the past the most recent involved networking as well to the point that I found out it was my fault for what was happening, not my networking hardware and not the software I was running.
Until you prove him wrong on something, it is safe to assume what he is saying is accurate, he definitely knows things. I assume he is wireless to wireless from his statements since he says the clients are next to each other and the router is below them - from this I assume both wireless - but maybe he has a wire ran to one of them?.
What we did not know is what wireless until now was it A,B,G,N? Nor do have any idea what his wireless speeds are that he believes are slow are at. So far all we have been able to put together is he is wireless to wireless, and now we know atleast one of the clients is connecting at G. Once we know what speeds he is seeing on this wireless to wireless transfer we can tell him if slow or normal. As to his 18GB in 25 minutes that works out to 12MBps -- which I don't believe is even possible on a mbit network, so would have to assume that he has wired gig -- therefore that 12MBps is SLOW for wired mbit network.
As you can see in screenshot, theres' a 1. Most likely wont work if you just select 1Gb. It depends on if the hardware at the other end of the cable supports it and if it was on auto neg then Im guessing it negotiated mb for a reason ;. S I love threads like these when some idiot posts a question who clearly has no idea and and is ignorant because its "technologys" fault and then gets shot down by someone.
Usually BudMan :D. You could have 10GB adapters - not going to do you any good if your switch is mbit? To run gig speeds you need a gig switch to connect too, or you would have to be connecting your 2 machines network cards directly together. So how could you complain that your windows 7 to windows 7 file copies are slow.. Now if that was mbit network then yeah thats pretty freaking slow ;. But lets get to your Wireless Speeds! Which is what you were complaining about anyway.
Can you do a simple robocopy test -- w7 comes with it.. Or grab iperf and test -- and we can tell you if its slow or fast for wireless G. For starters what w7 shows you in its file copy dialog -- I would not take that speed as gospel ; Suggest you do a robocopy as a file copy test which will print out great details of the time it took, how many bytes and calc the speed for you. If this is the case and your connecting at mbit -- then As to what your connecting at vs looking at what the card can be set too -- just move your mouse over the connection it should show you want speed your connected at..
If it says 54 -- then your G. Now if your one of the machines in that test where you were showing 2. FAST and I find it hard to believe thats a valid number. Again you can do a robcopy file copy test to report exact speed of the file copy. Possible your using some sort of turbo or GS mode on the wireless? Some routers state mbit vs 54, etc..
So then sure you might be able to see some really good speeds for wireless to wireless.. Just the way wireless works.. From the test I have done on many many wireless G networks -- the best your going to see is mid 20's mbit -- 54 is the RAW number and yes I agree its misleading to consumers. Same goes for seeing what speed your nic is connected at - just move your mouse over the icon in your tray if you have it set to show the icon for your wired interface when connected - if not just double click the interface.
It's a hub. Hub and switch are not interchangeable terms, I find it highly unlikely it has a 4 port HUB connected to it. But yes as already gone over your not going to see gig connected to it ;. Okay, so a previous poster said that it could be the fact that wireless just doesn't transfer as fast as wired, and that I shouldn't expect higher Well, that's ridiculous, because usually use wireless, and there is no speed reduction whatsoever when I download something wired and through wifi.
All of these might improve network performance. Our networks now have more than just traditional computers on them. Some of these devices might cause congestion or other network performance issues. This is one of the reasons you should avoid buying off-brand network devices.
Your computer and your router both support a specific network speed. Yet, when you copy a file over the network, you get nowhere near peak performance. Still, the problem might very well be your Ethernet cable.
While Ethernet cables may all look pretty much the same, different categories of cable are made differently. This has a big effect on their performance. They have different levels of shielding, different numbers of cable twists and so on. For example, Category 5 Ethernet is rated for Mbps. It used to be that your router would only have to connect a handful of computers together. Now everything in your house wants a piece of the network.
Smartphones, game consoles and even modern appliances like smart microwaves want a connection so they can talk to each other and download information from the internet. The solution is either to reduce the number of devices competing for bandwidth, split them between wired and wireless connections, or change their settings.
The settings that need to be changed will differ from one device to the next. Network cables are the most common culprit. There might also be issues with the ethernet port on your network interface card. For WiFi, check your external antenna. Especially on desktop systems where the antenna is connected using external wires. Swapping out ethernet cables is one way to check for damage, but using alternative network interfaces, such as swapping between Ethernet and WiFi, can pinpoint faulty equipment.
So, did any of these tips resolve your slow network issues? Let us know if your network performance issues were resolved. Network issues are always a little frustrating, but if you look for the problems systematically it will probably turn out to be an easier fix than you might have expected.
