How To Check Transfer Speed
Jun 12, 2011
I want to check the transfer speed between my PC and another IP.The IP belongs to a DVR here is the general schematic of the sistem:Digital Video Recorder - Dynacolor - DynaGuard H.264 DVR (nDG80 - nDG600 - DG200) & DynaHawk Speed Dome & IP CamerFirst when I've worked with this system everything worked well but now after three weeks I have to open 5 ore more internet explorer windows to see live image and I can't see the recordings.I need to know the speed transfer because I want to know if someone had decreased my transfer speed between my PC and the router or DVR.

What is the best site or way to check connect speed? I should have a 6mbps connection but it sure doesn't work like 6mbps. When I go to the speed test web sites I get speeds all over the place, some times it's around a mbps or less and sometimes it's 6 to 8 mbps. BUT, when I watch a video often it stops as it plays faster than it downloads, something you would not expect with 6mbps. Download are general around 250kbps to the upper 300's, again not what one would expect with a 6mbps connection. I understand it's not only my connection speed that determines the download speed but the other end as well but when I was getting good speeds (a couple a years ago with Comcast before all the jacked up prices and BS they all play with speed and bandwidth) I would often see download in the mbps range, NEVER see that anymore.

How can I go about checking the link speed of my wifi on my iPhone? Android devices show it as standard when you click on the network you're connected to and Windows shows it via Task manager/Wireless properties.

I have two computers both running Windows 7 and both connected thru a 2wire Wireless G modem/router. Problem is, transfer speeds between two computers on the same network are surprisingly slow. I installed TeraCopy on recommendation from a friend which sped things up a bit, but I still max out at around 1 MB/s, even when there is no other network activity. That's barely more than I get downloading from the Internet!

I am transferring music files from an External HDD link by USB to my laptop to a Synology 410J NAS, I have both a wired and a wireless connection. The NAS is connected to a 2wire modem and router, and so is the laptop. I am getting speeds of between 450KB to 600KB a second i.e. 0.45 to 0.6MB per second. How can I make this faster?

I bought a new laptop today, unfortunately, it doesnt have a Firewire port and i want to use it for video editing.But i figured no problem really, i'll just capture on my desktop that i have been previously using to edit on, using Premiere pro to edit, but HDVsplit to capture, and then transfer the files over to the laptop using a USB or possibly trying to setup a home network.But when transferring files from the desktop onto the laptop via the router using ethernet cables, the speed is about 250 kb/s and when its the other way around, from the laptop to the desktop, the speed is 10 MB/s! I really need to find away to speed this up as the overall files i want to transfer are over 5GB.You can read a bit more about it here: [URL]

I spoke with two different support agents with a well respected routermanufacturer. I got two different answers - No surprise.So, I ask the forum, what file transfer speeds should I expect when transfering a good sized amount of data (10gig) from wired PC on a 10/100/1000 network router to another PC via wireless connection 20 (feet away + two walls) using 802.11N.Both PC's are new / newer with win 7 64 bit. - Current transfer speeds - Both wired and wireless internet download speed tests are arond 21 meg per second. Both PC's wired and wireless get around 3.7 meg per second internet download (speed tests).At this point - no real difference in internet access between PC's and wired / wireless.
However, when I copy a file from PC1 to PC 2 (both wired) I get 68 megs per second. When I transfer the same data set (10 gig) from PC1 wired to PC 2 wireless, the data transfer falls to 3.7 meg per second. One rep told me to expect about 80% of my wired rate or about 54 megs per second (when using my 802.11N 300meg) equipment. The other rep (same company) told me that the 3.7 meg per second ia about the best I can expect. A transfer rate of 3.7 megs per second simply does not appear to be a reasonable speed given that all my wireless equipment is pretty new and supports numbers that are much higher

Installed brand new CAT6 cable from my office PC (W7) to my HTPC (W7) to stream movies (150 feet) and I cannot get file transfer speeds higher than 1MBps. I get the sames slow speeds whether I use the router or plug the two PCs together.

I have a desktop and a laptop computer. both equipped with Gigabit Lan port... I connect them with Straight cable by assigning both computers IP address. I havnt use any switch or router between computers.... The problem is that my transfer speed is about= ~10MB/s..... As far i know the transfer speed should be around 70-80MB/s (125MB/s for Gigabit Lan).....

I want to say that I am new to networking and VPNs, but I have really enjoyed setting up my own OVPN server and learning along the way. The impetus for my investigation in OVPN came from my desire to route my internet traffic through my home network while being at school and to have access to my home networked printer and NAS. I decided to go with a bridged OVPN setup on my NAS. I successfully bridged my NAS LAN adapter with the OVPN TAP driver, deployed the server on my NAS, and have had great success accessing my NAS, printer, and LAN remotely. Note that I use Windows 7 on all of my devices. Everything works well and I can just about max out my home ISP download/upload speed when transferring files over the VPN.
However, I noticed that after deploying the OVPN server my local transfer speeds over my LAN to my NAS are greatly reduced. After several days of trouble shooting I have narrowed the problem to the bridging of the OVPN TAP Device with my NAS LAN adapter. [code]

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.

url...I have 2 PC's connected to a DIR-615 through 802.11n and each have a DWA-130 802.11n adapter. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on both computers. The specs of both systems are very high.I only have these 2 computers on wireless right now. Their signal is full strength, they are less than 10 feet away from the router.I am getting 2.0 MB/s when transferring files between them and although I am not expecting to get 17MB/s, but I should be getting better speed than 2 MB/s.Hard drive specs are Crucial C300 SATA 6.0, WD Caviar Blue SATA 3.0, and WD Caviar Green SATA 3.0. My Green drive reads/writes at 100MB/s, My Blue 125MB/s, and My SSD 225MB/s. So, those are not the bottleneck.Is there any other settings I can try? I have not messed with my DWA-130 settings nor have I messed with Windows.

I have been performing the same test with 3 different Wi-Fi routers (ASUS RT-N 16, Netgear WD3700 and Netgear WD4500): Turn on the router and plugin external HDD. Connect to the router from one of two different laptops (both using 802.11n), while placing the laptop inches from the router.Copy a big file from the laptop to the external HDD over Wi-Fi. No matter what router, laptop or frequency (2.4 or 5.0) I used, my file transfer speed never went above 6.0MBps (with Netgear WD4500) or 3.5MBps (with any other router).Why is it so much lower than theoretical maximum?
Few things that I have already ruled out:One of the laptops is brand new ASUS UX31a running Windows 7, another one is an older Toshiba with Windows XP. Transfer speed is almost identical on both of them, so it should not be an issue with the laptop.
When HDD is connected directly to the laptop via USB, the transfer speed hovers around 20MBps, so HDD can't be limiting factor either. While doing the test, no other computers were connected to that Wi-Fi network. All routers were brand new, running stock firmware. InSSIDer shows that there is just one another router in vicinity, running only at 2.4 frequency and at different channel than my router.

My Home/Small Business network now utilizes several D-Link products. It is comprised of a DLink 205 cable modem (old but reliable and perfectly adequate for the speed I get from my ISP); 2 - DIR-825 Dual Band WiFi Routers (Primary - Rev B1; Secondary - Rev A1); a DLink 5-port Unmanaged Smart Switch (GO series); an HP Proliant N54L Microserver with 6 internal and 2 external HDD's (total of 19TB); 4-5 workstations (HP Laptops); 2 - Brother Laser Printers/Scanner/Copiers; a Toshiba Thrive Android Tablet; an iPad Tablet; Android Smartphones; iPhones; and a large screen HDTV. The Modem, WiFi Routers, Switch, and Server are connected together with CAT6E ethernet cable. The printers are USB 2.0 to the server. The external HDD's are USB 3.0 to the Server.
When I measure transfer speeds of Large files (single 30GB iso movie files) between HDD's internal to the Server and USB 3.0 external <=> internal, I can achieve transfer rates of 140MB/sec - 150MB/sec. This is the limitation of 7200rpm HDD's. When I measure the transfer rate from the Server to a Work Station by CAT6E ethernet cable (25ft length) connected to the DLink 5-port gigabit switch, I measure transfer speeds of around 65MB/sec - 70MB/sec with a peak transfer rate of around 95MB/sec. This is ok but not as fast as other people seem to get. I would be hope to see rates in excess of 100MB/sec. Theoretical maximum for 1GB being 125MB/sec but the specs on the ports say they should operate up to 2GB (250MB/sec).
Wireless transfer rates are where I really am having trouble. Transferring the same 30GB iso movie file over wireless between two Work Stations or between a Work Station and the Server gives a maximum transfer speed of 7.2MB/sec and an average transfer speed of around 4.5MB/sec. If I am streaming multiple streams and trying to transfer a iso file, the transfer speed drops down to as low as 350KB/sec. This is too slow.
My network is setup to do Bare Metal Backups of the Work Stations. This can entail transferring up to 100GB of mixed files to the back-up drives on the Server for each Work Station. At 4.5MB/sec it takes just under 7 hours to back up the Work Station. If multiple Work Stations are backed up, it takes longer. Too Long to be realistic.
How to increase the transfer speeds on the wireless network? I have seen other people post wireless transfer speeds for their networks in excess of 13MB/sec. If I could get 7MB/sec or above when backing up all the Work Stations simultaneously. That would be doable.

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 am having issues with transfer speed on my network. I have a D-Link DIR-655 wireless N router. Two PC's. My gaming PC is also a server of sorts. E6600, 4 gb of RAM, Wireless N PCI card, Win 7 Pro 64.
I have a small e6400 machine, 4 gb ram, Win 7 Pro 32, 1gigabit connection, hardwired to the router. This one is hooked up to the TV. I want to stream my movie/tv collection from my gamin PC, which is on the other side of the room to the TV. The gaming machine/server has 4 drives, with a dedicated 1tb drive for video storage. The machine connected to the TV has one 300 gb drive. Right now, I am getting 1.8 mbps transfer speeds. This is causing very choppy playback. I am using VLC for playback. I am using WPA2 for network security.
How can i increase my transfer speeds across the network? Is 1.8mbps as good as it gets?

I cant figure it out and can not find a solution. All three computers have gigabit nics, I have gigabit router and switch, my d-link 321 is set to gigabit, the only thing on my network that is not gigabit is my printer. I'm not getting gigabit transfer speed from my computer to dlink 321. I rarely do computer to computer transfers, so I dont know what the speed is of that. The best tranfer rate is from 7-12mb. I am also using cat 5e wires on all connections. What am I missing?

My XBOX started complaining when I began using Windows Media Center to stream videos from my PC to my XBOX. I found out that I had a wireless G router provided by verizon which wasn't fast enough to stream videos. SO, I went out and purchased a 4500EA router expecting it to be the fastest thing I had ever seen.
Now it seems a bit slow when trying to stream video from my laptop to the XBOX and i'm a tad bit confused as to why. So I did a file transfer from a desktop wired directly to the router from a laptop in the same room wirelessly connected to the network and my speed is about 4mbps. 4MBPS!? This device is supposed to be capable of moving packets LAN side at 450MBPS.
Both of my PC's are quad core, newer model PCs. I've tried moving files now for several hours with the same results. I've toyed around with my wireless adapters, changed power settings, full duplex, half, changed mtu sizes, changed security settings. I'm out of ideas.
Is getting about 1% of the advertised bandwidth normal?

I have two machines that both have WUSB600N wireless network adaptors with a Cisco WRT160N router. The file transfer speeds between the two devices maxes out at 1.6Mbs. If I run speed tests off the internet I hit 15 to 20 and downloads are excellent. I have played with all kinds of settings for the driver and router but nothing seems to work. Both these devices are running Windows 7. I tried a file transfer with an XP device as well and it maxes at about 1.6. how to increase the bandwidth??

i have a newly formatted (i.e. empty) 2TB WD my book elite which when i connect it to my computers usb port, can transfer a 6gb video file at over 100MB/s according to the win 7 detail box. However, when i connect it to the usb port on the back of the e4200 and try to transfer the same file, it only goes at 8MB/s max ... it appears to be going at usb 1 speed. i've got the latest firmware on both the e4200 and the my book 1111 and everything seems to be working fine for both, except this transfer rate when connected to the e4200.granted, cisco doesn't specifically list this drive as being tested, but the router does recognize it and shows it as usb 2.0, but yet the transfer speed is just too slow.8MB/s is just not workable...i could just connect the drive directly to the computer and share it that way, but connecting it to the e4200 was one of the reasons i bought the e4200.

Transfer speed for sending or receiving files from a USB external HDD connected to the router is slow? Speed ranging from 2MB - 4MB/s. The HDD is definitely capable of at least 80MB/s if plugged directly into the PC. Is it meant to be this slow or there's a fix somewhere which I'm not aware of? Thought it's suppose to be the top of the line products but seems so inferior if I were to compare with other high end routers in the market which performs better, faster and definitely much cheaper.

I have recently purchased a Cisco E4200 to replace my D-LINK DIR-655, which I thought was defective because I was getting slow wirless file transfer speed, regardless of setting, location and client.Using the E4200, when I transfer a file from a PC to another, both connected at 300mb on the 2.4ghz band, the file transfer rate reported by windows 7 and networx is from 2MB/s to 3.5MB/s. I think those transfer rates are not acceptable. Is that a good assumption ? I would expect something in the range of 10MB/s (which is what I get with a cheap dlink router, wired)
I also had great difficulty finding a channel. I had to try them all one-by-one as the auto channel selection made my PCs connect at 130mb.The E4200 is setup as follows:
-WPA-Personal
-Channel 5
-802.11n only
I have tried 3 different computers with different network adapters and they all underperform (IMO..).There are no other wireless networks in my area.I also took the E4200 to my office which is very crowed. Every single channel is occupied by several wireless networks. I get a file transfer speed PC to PC of about 2MB.I basically could have kept my DIR-655 as the speeds are identical.

I am getting very slow window file transfer speed (4 Mbps per second) between two connecting servers in Cisco 6509 switch. I have connect the two laptops in 6509 switch in same module using the same vlan and try to copy the files from one laptop to another and vice versa and got the same speed on 4 to 5 Mbps per second. Switch utilization is not more than 10% and both the laptops are connected in 1 Gbps full duplex.
I have checked by removing the gateway in both laptop but the output is same.
