Testing with router set to 2.4ghz as b/g/n only, channel 6 Testing with router set to 2.4ghz as b/g/n only, channel 1 Laptop to HDD: max 10.4MB/s (that’s an improvement) Testing with router set to 2.4ghz as b/g/n only, auto channel That said, the read speed from the network drive never gets past 3.4 MB/s no matter what. Seems like I get the best transfer speeds with b/g/n and channel set to auto. ** The local storage on my shield was a mounted 64gb, UHS1 class 10 microSD card with and thanks for the ideas. Transfer from HDD to nvidia shield: 25MB/s Transfer from Nvidia shield to HDD: 17.5MB/s Testing hooking the HDD directly to my laptop and shield TV on USB 3.0 ports Transfer from HDD to Laptop: 3MB/s (this seems super slow?) Test laptop connected to router with Cat5 cable, HDD connected to router (and wifi disabled on the laptop) Transfer from HDD to Nexus 5: max 2.5MB/s Transfer from Nexus 5 to HDD: max 8.55MB/s All test are transferring a file 600MB to 1GB in size. Using SMB to access the drive on all wifi connections. HDD is Seagate Free Agent GoFlex 1TB with USB 3.0 Not sure the specs but P/N is 9Zf2A5-500. I use ES File Explorer to transfer files and report speeds. I use ES File Explorer Pro to transfer files and report speeds. Transferring files and recording speeds by copy/pasting between folders and watching the transfer status window. Advanced shows 802.11n Channel Width for band 2.4. Wireless card is Intel Centrino Wireness N-2230. Should I try hooking up the USB 3.0 drive to the Sata port on the router? Could that speed things up?īelow is a bunch of data I posted over on the Linksys forum while trying to figure this out. ![]() If you wouldn't mind checking this out, it seems especially strange that read speeds on Cat5 are still only 3MB/s (maybe read isn't the right terminology for transferring a file from the HDD to the laptop). As for the transfer speeds though, everything else is MB/s. Maybe I'm missing some settings? Anyone know how I can get decent read / write speeds to work over wifi? I read through this post on Linksys forums and it appears that other people have the same issue, whether over 5ghz or 2.4 ghz connections. I believe the hard drive is formatted as FAT32 but I'm not sure (it could be exfat). Transfer rates in either direction (read / write) are 8-10 mbps. ![]() The files are anywhere from 500mb to 10gb. The computer is 10 feet from the router so strong signal. I'm transferring files via SMB over wifi from a pc laptop (2.4ghz) via windows file manager. Never anything close to the transfer rates shown on here and other places. ![]() However, I always have read / write speeds of 8-10 mbps max. The main reason I got this router was the tests shown on this website that is has the best read / write speeds to the network storage. I have a 1TB USB3.0 Seagate hard drive attached to the WRT 1900AC USB 3.0 port.
