    File transfer slower than download speed on wireless LAN


    The issue
    File transfers are capping at 355KBps downloading above 1MB mostly

    I shared internet connection with my friend and its a 10Mbps one.
    Network is as below

    First is Internet router 54Mbps
    Second is Repeater (Tenda N300 300Mbps) My frnds laptop is connected to this via wifi.
    Third is TL-WR720N 150Mbps
    4th is my pc connected with Ethernet cable to TL-WR720N

    My download speed is around 1MB or a lil above mostly

    However if i share my HDD and my friend or I copy something the speed is fixed at 355KBps ( Even with everything stopped i mean no downloads or load on network)

    What i tried
    • The connection is N mode showing 72Mbps on both laptops and off course 100Mbps on my PC over Ethernet cable. Connecting MY PC and Laptop we directly via ethernet cable we get 98MBps transfer
    • Sharing files directly between 2 Laptops connected with Tenda N300 ( The repeater router ) the transfer was still capping at 355KBps.
    I have tried changing the channels and as we were testing i made sure that the signal strength was above 80% for sure.
    In short in repeater mode or normal mode the transfer is capping at 355KBps.

    • Googled alot before posting here so please dont say to google it.
    • Tried disabling and enabling TCP tuning. (some windows setting ) Tried updating drivers.

    Nothing has worked.

    :)

    Transferring files to another folder. Speed issue.

    It depends on the type of files being transferred, as well as size. Also, despite the faster velociraptor, it transfer speed cannot be fully utilized, since it is limited by the slower drive's ability to write the data. Finally, write is always slower than read.

    However, all that said, that sustained transfer speed is a little bit low I think, without further info.

  3. LAN transfer speed fluctuation

    I recently bought a new Win 10 laptop. I transfered my data from my old win7 laptop to the new one via lan cable. But the copying speed fluctuates between 11 MBPS to 200 KBPS. And am talking about a single large file of about 11 GB. I don't get it. I am
    not using internet connection and only those two computers are connected via LAN. I just wanna know the reason for such fluctuation.

    Slow Download Speed

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft forums.

    • I would suggest you to test the speed using any of the speed test website or app to confirm the upload and download speed.
    • I also suggest you to reset the wireless router to check if that helps.
    • You may plug in the Ethernet cable if available and check the speed.


    Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you
