Why is my home network so slow at moving files around?

This thread was necro'd by 6+months so I am not sure we will see a response. Slow performance can be a ton of things including cables / routers / AV etc. I always start by hooking the problem PC via a cable directly to a known good machine. If you can't get a good connection through 2 meters of patch cord there is something wrong with the PC software or hardware.

My connection is very fast. Speedtest shows 30 mbps like I said. There's only one other wireless signak around and it's faint.

Your WAN connection has nothing to do with your LAN connection.

You're right. Elvenking's extremely inappropriate comments were also a necro post. I didn't notice that when I first responded to him, and you're probably right that we don't need to continue the conversation unless the original poster of the problem lets us know that they are still having trouble.

Unless you have identical hardware, then please start a new thread and be as descriptive of the problem as you can with a list of the hardware in use.

This is what I did to slow network. It pertains to the person starting the thread.

Using Linux Netbooks connected to a Linksys E3000 w/ DD-WRT. Transfer speed were a respectable 30-45mbit.

My work laptop w/ Win 7 ultimate was getting on LAN = 768k (LOL?) On same network as Linux laptops

The Fix:

Windows 7 Machine (access through control panel or device manager)
> Network Adapter > Advanced Settings>Power Management Tab> Uncheck allow computer to turn this device off

> Network Adapter > Advanced Settings
In the drop down menu look for and Disable power saving. Depending on the card, there might not be a setting. **** you can google what some of the settings do. On a home network. I wouldn't change to much. IE Enabling 'jumbo frames' might see a LAN speed increase but wreck havoc on high latency apps such as VOIP.

My speeds went up to 12mbit.

I did ton's of troubleshooting. Different routers, Nic Cards, Cabled, WiFi and etc. If you're using primarly WiFi. The power saving change will result in a significant increase of data throughput. Wired networks- change settings to match router/switch port IE 1000 mbit ful duplex or etc.
