D-Link DIR-655 :: DWA-552 Card - Slow Transfer Rates?
Oct 23, 2012
im experiencing very slow transfer rates averaging 600 kb/s when transfering files. my PC has a compatible dwa-552 card and both the router and card have latest drivers / firmware. i have various changes on the router and to no avail. all devices PC / laptops running N @ 20 mhz / channel 11. i can see 2 other networks but very low signal using diff channels.what setting might i be overlooking in the router that might cause this slow trans rate? incidentally, when i transfer .jpg or .pdf files the transfer improves to 2.5 mb/s. however, when i transfer a folder containing subfolders with diff file types the trans rate drops sharply to 600 kb/s.
E4200 with an external hard drive WD My Book (1TB) connected to the router via USB.Desktop PC (Windows 7) connected to router via Ethernet cable.Laptop PC (Windows 7) connected to router via wireless connection.I wanted to create a central media (videos/pictures) file on the external hard drive connected to the router. However, the transfer rate is terribly slow. Interestingly, it is 50KB/second when copying from the Desktop (via Ethernet) and 1.6Mbps when copying from the Laptop via wireless.

I am a sales engineer, so I use my desktop and laptop all the time. When on road, I sync my desktop with my laptop using a program called ViceVersa. This a very good, reliable syncing program that I have been using for over 10 years ( with upgrades ).
The program allows me to sync my desktop and laptop. The program also shows the data transfer rate during the syncing process. The typical data transfer speed is between 5MB/s and 10MB/s with sometimes up to 12MB/s. A typical sync between the computers will take about 3 - 5 minutes at the ~ 10 MB/s transfer rate using ethernet CAT6 cable inteface. At about 11pm last Tuesday,there was a Windows update on both my Vist and Win7 computers. On wednesday, I went to do a typical sync. The system has dramatically slowed to 59KB/s max. This is about 150 times slower than 5-10MB/s that I was used to for so many years. My typical sync was now taking about 2 hours....unacceptable ! I have tried everything to figure out what is going on and how to fix it but nothing has worked.
Then I tried to see what would happen if I disconnected my ethernet cable ( between the router and the laptop only ) and just sync using the wireless network. With that configuration, the transfer rate is ~ 2.5 MB/s which is not great but is much, much better than 59KB/s. I actually do not know what a reasonable wireless transfer rate should be since I never really did it before due to the faster speed of the wired configuration.
This is just a LAN. Only connecting my Desktop to my Laptop via the Cisco router.
How I can get my wired configuration back up to the 5-10MB/s transfer rate that it once was?
I am using an old Asus netbook as a file server in home network which I connect through Ipad over ftp. It works for the most of daily tasks fine though but the connection is with rates under 1 Mbps still slow for data intensive tasks. My question is: if I buy a new hard drive with wireless access capability could I hope for significantly better transfer rates? If not, then I can't see any point why someone would buy this devices which in some cases can only be accessed over the network. what is wrong with my configuration that I get significantly slower rates? I run SuSE Linux on the netbook, the ftp deamon is vsftp and have a 54 Mbps wireless router which I think can still be considered standard. Is there anything I can do to increase the ftp transfer rates? I think it should be possible since even downloads over http on the same machine often exceed it.
i'm overal content with the router. But i bought myself an ipad and an app to go with it,what it does it, you access your computer from your laptop. You can than transfer files onto the ipad.But the max speed while transfering is 4150kbps, kinda slow imo.
I am using a DIR 825 and I experience slow data transfer speed within my internal network under the wireless connection (2.4 Ghz), 2 Mbs. I can videostream from the internet OK, no problems there, but when I want to transfer data between two external HDD (NAS devices) it can get as slow as 2 Mbs.
I recently bought a new TP-Link TL-WR741N, I'm transferring data from my desktop wired network, windows 7 to net book windows xp wireless. i'm getting only 2 mbps.
I recently switched from an older 10/100 linksys to this gigabit router from D-Link. However, when I try to transfer files from one computer to another on the LAN, the file transfers are ridiculously low, right around 16KB/s. I have CAT6 cable for all connections, but am baffled by what could cause such a slow speed. I'm trying to transfer files from my desktop (win7) to my server (Windows Home Server 2011).
1 newer build computer connected to D-link 655 via Cat6.1 laptop computer connected to same D-link 655 via Wireless N minicard. (Intel) (130Mbps connected) Router on a 10 foot shelf, always have full bar in wireless strength on 2nd computer.
Both computers can upload and download as expected from the internet. Transfers between the two computers though are slow. Both computers are loaded with Windows 7. Transferring files to or from the laptop transfers at 1.5MB/sec to 2 MB/sec.
i have a 4Mbps DSL internet connection with 3 PCs connected through a router. 2 are connected wirelessly and the other is wired via an ethernet cable. i noticed that when downloading a file from an international server, the transfer rate on the wireless PCs is 2-3 times slower than on the wired PC. the wireless PC would get about 150-200kb/s, whereas the wired PC can max out to 450kb/s on a single download. however when i download from a local or nearby server instead, the transfer rate on the wireless and wired PCs are the same and can both reach up to 450kb/s per download. i don't understand why the wireless connection is slower to international servers compared to the wired PC.my wireless signal is at 54Mbps with "excellent" strength. i also tested the ping results from both the wireless and wired PCs to international servers and they are pretty much the same.
- all PCs are running windows XP SP3 - the modem/router is a D-Link 2640B
We recently did a forklift upgrade on our campus and installed 3502i's, 3502e's, and 11 5508 WLC's. Our students are complaining about slow connections in several areas of the campus.In our testing and basic trouble shooting our Apple laptops have no problems but our windows laptops are showing a very slow connection rates 264kbps downloand and 366kbps upload. The window device has current drivers installed.
Ive been doing everything I can to try to enhance transfer speeds between my home server and desktop pc. [code]
Just drag and drop copying on my network, a 7gb file started at 20mbps and immediately dropped to ~11mbps where it stays.I took the time to run cat 6, bought a decent router, and (2) intel NICs, I feel like I should be getting much better transfer speeds than this.
Im having a problem transferring files to a shared network folder (my server's folder), its transferring files at ~20KB/s Thing is, I can copy files from the server to my computer at 90MB/s.I can also copy from my computer to my brothers computer also at 90MB/s.And copy from my brothers computer to the server at 90MB/s.But only 20KB/s from my computer to the server.My server is running WHS2011 by the way and my computer and brothers computer is running Windows 7.My entire network is wired and tested with a 1Gbit connection. and im using a Linksys WAG320N router.

We have a network between two locations. WAN is 100 Mbps MPLS provided by service provider. There is a FWSM module on core switches. Problem we are facing is FTP file transfer between two servers across WAN link never crosses 20 Mbps. Link is 100 Mbps. However if we do parallel file tranfers each transfer is 20 Mbps . But we dont get transfer rate above 20 Mbps in a single FTP session. Is there any bottle neck where traffic is getting restricted.Traffic between two mservers passes through 100Mbps MPLS WAn link, 6500 core switch and FWSM module in switch.
I have a wireless network with 2 desktop hooked up wired, and one laptop that's wireless. Accessing files on the desktop with xp installed is quick and transfers files at around 5-7mb/s. When I connect to my main pc with windows 7 on it, file transfer is EXTREMELY slow and almost always stutters and freezes. I've tried removing the drive from 'shared' and then adding it again, reinstalling my ethernet driver, swapping ethernet ports on the back of my router, and resetting it altogether. Still a slow transfer speed.I use workgroup all around, for xp and for 7.
Just relised this problem after trying to leech some stuff from a friend from his pc at a lan My connection seems to go REALLLY slow. Heres a pic nobody else is file copying and its the same from every pc.
I have 4 systems in my network1)Amd Phenom based HTPC- wired LAN- win764bit ultimate2)Laptop-Wired LAN/Wireless -win764bit home basic3)Work Laptop-Wired LAN/Wireless win764bit ultimate4)Atom based storage server-Wireless only win7 32bit ultimateThe issue I am facing is really really slow data transfer speeds from one system to another 100-200Kbps!!whereas my download speeds are in upwards of 500 kbps with a 4Mbps connection.All the systems run various versions of windows 7 and are part of the same homegroup.the Wireless router I use is this And also have Kaspersky internet security 2012 on all the systems, with the firewall set to recognize my home network as a trusted network
Ok I have 8 computers 2 computer will have a camera attached to it importing photos as they are being shot. (2 photo stations) Trick is I need to transfer all photos taken in real time to the remaining 6 computers at the same time. What is the best way to do this and what software to export all photos to the six computers. I'm running windows 7. I set this up as a home group but it was really slow. When I tried to use a network printer it would freeze the network? I need it to monitor new files as the photos come in. Also all photos also need to be copied to 6 different computers so guest could access their photo on any computer.This is how I currently have it set up. I have 2 Computers with cameras attached that takes the photos and sends them to PC1 (My Server Computer) The server computer also has the network printer attached. Each photo is about 300K-500K size.
Different photo is transfer every 15 seconds. The server computer is also connected to the other 5 Computers. The guest goes to one of the computers, scans a card and their photo pops up which is located on the server computer, they also have an option to print the photo. The problem is when the guests scans their card the photo is very slow to pull up ( about 15-20 seconds ) Second is when they hit print it freezes up sometimes for up to 2 minutes. I connected as a home group and first did connection wireless Then connect everything through a Ethernet cord which speed it just a little not much. Questions Do I need a better server computer?
I'm having problem with slow wireless trasnfer speeds. 129kb/s slow. So here is my set up. Desktop with a 100MB nic card, running windows 7 ultimate, connected to linksys wrt320n running dd-wrt. then i have my laptop running windows 7 ultimate, connected to my wireless network.
I have tried coping files in the homegroup and outside of the homegroup.
i am running windows server 2008 with the hyper V role installed.i have installed windows 7 Professional as a guest OS. assigned 2 GB of Ram to the machine. the point behind the VM is to virtualize my FTP server and incase a format is required i have the VM file on my 2nd partition, host OS on another. i use Cerberus FTP Server on the Win7 OS. i configured the server to accept SFTP and TLS connections. on the host OS i installed Fire FTP and File Zilla, both Clients will at max download a 4 MB file at 64 KB/Sec .. i have seen both jump to about 80 KB but was only a split second and never held.. however if i login without SFTP and transfer over standard protocol, i download at 1 MB/sec. which is my normal speeds. would this be only to the encryption process?, in the Cerberus Server there are options to adjust download speeds, i have left it default, and altered it to allow its max configuration. My ISP is not limiting any connections that shouldnt be.
2-Qualcomm Atheros AR938x wireless cards, both connected on 5Ghz network at 450 Mbps.Router-E4200, latest firmware, the only 5Ghz network in the area
One PC has a drive bender drive pool on it that I'm trying to read/write from. Testing the pool w/ crystal disk mark on the local pc shows fast speeds (650 MB/s read, 67 MB/s write), so I drive bottlenecks aren't the issue.
Connecting at 450 Mbps i would expect to see something like at least 200 Mbps actual speeds, or is this off? Using LAN Speed test I'm getting 41 write and 52 read. Not great
I have 4 - WAP 321's in an office all connected to a POE gigabit switch. Each WAP shows connected at 1GB but when I am sitting within a couple feet of the WAP and attempt to transfer a 972MB file it takes around 9 minutes to complete. speeding this up? All 4 AP's are setup as a cluster as well.
I am having incredibly slow connection while transferring files using file sharing.I have the below hardware:
108Mbps TPLINK Wireless Router TL-WR642G 108Mbps TPLINK Wireless Access Point acting as repeater Laptops accessing internet and folder sharing enabled for local file transfer
Transfering of files excessively slow (after playing around with the settings was able to get 500KBps). I have set all wireless adapters on the laptops to 802.11g only.Tried setting the router and access point to both 54Mbps and 108Mbps 802.11G only as well as b/g.
My work has a main office and a backup office which is off site. What I am trying to do is copy a folder from one computer at the backup site to another computer at the backup site, all while sitting at my computer in the main office. Let's say the two computers at the backup site are called comp1 and comp2.Whether I use Windows Explorer, or .net VB script, or XCOPY from the command prompt, if I try to copy \comp1c_drivefolder to \comp2c_drivefolder from my computer then it takes an extremely long time - around 5 hours for 2Gb of data.
However, if I Remote Desktop into comp1, and from that machine copy C:folder to \comp2c_drivefolder then it only takes 5 minutesI can only assume that when I try to copy the folder from my computer remotely that it is transferring the data from comp1 -> my computer -> comp2, and with the computers being at different sites it's very slow. What I need to know is if I can do this remote copy using VB without the data going via my computer, i.e. straight from \comp1 to \comp2.
I thought this was the way Windows handled copying between networks anyway, i.e. straight from one to the other, my only explanation for the terrible speed is that it is going via my computer. I'm writing a basic folder-backup program in VB and would REALLY like to cut that 5 hour transfer time down to the 5 minutes I know the network can do
I have the above router, but I have noticed that the USB Transfer speed is very poor. I have a WD External HD plugged into the router and id i transfer filed from my server which is hardwired to the router I only get a transfer speed of about 2.5MB/s. For a USB device I was kind of thinking I would be getting a minumm of atleast 50-60MB/s.
I currently had 6 WAP321 setup in our work environment on 2 floor building as Single Point Setup cluster. When I do a 470MB ISO files transfer between the server and the laptop, the speed is very slow, rate at 130KBs and sometime it go up to 30Mbps.Is there anyway to tweek teh WAP to get FULL speed of wireless all the time?
My transfer speed from HDD which connected to linksys e4200 reach max 2,3MB/s how it is possible to watch fullHD movie if its required minimum 5MB/s? Maybe I should make some adjustments? HDD-WD My Passport 750Gb Also connection speed max reach 144mb/s?? how to make 300mb/s ? wifi adapter is Intel advanced N + WiMax 6250 AGN last driver installed, also E4200 last firmware installed 1.0.0.2 all settings by default Max download speed 75Mb/s by utorrent but provider gives 100Mb/s By cable its ok, max speed 100Mb/s as giving provider
Very slow transfer speeds problem with this router. When I put the router in the system, my transfer speeds drop from 12 Mbps to 3 Mbps. I've updated the firmware to the latest version but that doesn't work. The most frequent suggestion is to upgrade the firmware which I have already done.
I have a home network running on a Linksys WAG320n and i have attached to it a WD MyBookLive (w Gigabit Ethernet). I am connected on the network via my Dell with a Intel(R) WiFi Link 5300 AGN. I am not able though to connect on N range. I have installed the latest drivers from Intel but nothing changed. When i try to copy a file from my computer to the WD Network drive the transfer rates are very slow. I get Max 2MB/s - 3MB/s while if i connect my computer with a wire the speed goes up by 3-4 times more.
