Linksys Wireless Adapters :: WUSB600N Speed Slow With File Transfer
Mar 3, 2011
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 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.
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?
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
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 recently installed an E4200 router/AP and, on one desktop, an AE2500 USB Adapter. All the other devices on the LAN work fine and the laptops, even show improved tranfer rates. The desktop, with the AE2500, shows good or very good signal strength, but the speed is down around 5.5 Mbps. Running a full backup of the HDD proves the slow speed.
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
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 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.
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.
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.
just bought a WD my book world edition 2 NAS and have been trying to tranfer files wirelessly to it but a 700mb file is taking 25mins to trans. my book is connected by ethernet to netgear dgnd3300 router and my laptop has sitecom 300n usb doongle.is there some sort of setting i've missed or is this speed normal?
I have a RV220W operating in 2.4GHz N-only mode. Channel bandwidth is set to 20MHz, channel to 6 (a site survey shows that channel as completely clear), WPA2/AES. I am connected to a TrendNet wireless bridge. The admin page for that wireless bridge shows a link quality of 100% with a signal strength of 71%. If I select a higher channel (11), the signal strength drops to 51%.
I have a Windows 7 PC connected to the Trendnet bridge and a Windows 7 server connected to the RV220W, both via a 1Gbps LAN port. When I transfer a file from the server to the PC or vice versa, I get a lowsy 2MBps (~20Mbps) transfer rate. That seems awfully slow. I tried channel bonding from 20 to 40 MHz
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.
So, I bought a used WUSB600N Wireless Adapter and am having difficulty installing it. Of course, there was no installation CD to go with it, so I went to the website to download the drivers and updates and still can't get it to install.
I have been trying to get the WUSB600N v 1 to enable in Win 7 Pro 64 bit for quiet awhile. Been reading all the posts here and elsewhere. Have tried all the drivers I could down load and still no luck. The drivers would install but the adapater would not enable. Read about some of the problems with Kaspersky but I had Zone Alarm installed and it did not have the same problem. So tonight I decided to completely remove Zone Alarm from the system. Once I removed ZA and rebooted the adapter functioned correctly. I am able to enable and connect using the WUSB600N v 1. Reinstalled ZA and 600N is still working correctly. It just would not install correctly with ZA on the system. I had previously tried disabling ZA but it took a complete removal to get it to work, I even tried it in safe mode but no luck. I don't have a clue as to what ZA was doing to block the adapter from working but it did. So if you have any kind of anti-virus or firewall you might try removing it and see it the adapter will work. I am currently using the latest drivers from the Ralink site but they would not work either until I removed ZA.Message Edited by curlysir on 02-22-2010 06:30 PM
I've been getting lag spikes with the WUSB600N. I am using Windows 7 64bit with service pack 1 installed. I had drivers version 3.0.1.0 installed and upgraded to version 3.0.10.0. After upgrading the problem got so so bad that I can't play online games at all. I tried rolling back drivers to 3.0.1.0 but it won't go back. I already tried reinstalling the drivers a few times and even reinstalled windows.
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 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?
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?
wireless N adapter wusb600N and win 7 pro fully upgraded:Ive tried this with multiple adapters and multiple 3g providers/usb modems. When I connect the adapter, after a while, the 3g modem disconnects and turns red, and the modem connection software says it cant find the usb 3g device. It feels like the windows is somehow mixing the adapter, and the 3g modem or somthing. Again this same problem happens with multiple devices. Is there some settting im missing.
I have a problem with my WUSB600N in that it periodically stalls my PC for about twenty seconds. It happens randomly, but particularly when I am using YouTube or playing online games. The symptoms are basically that the screen and process lock up. Sometimes I can continue to move the mouse for a short period, but usually that stops moving too. If I'm playing music in the background (iTunes usually or YouTube) then the music keeps going after the lockup, again only for a short period. Usually about twenty seconds or so later, the whole things recovers. I've tried Alt-Tab or Ctrl-Alt-Del while locked, but that does nothing until the system recovers, at which point i find myself with the Task Manager window or back in Windows, so clearly the keystroke has hit the system normally.
PC is running Windows 7 64, with Avast antivirus, Zonealarm firewall, Malwarebytes antimalware.Its an E6750 on a P5N32E Deluxe with 2G RAM.The wireless access point is about five metres away in a straight line through an open doorway. Signal strength is generally excellent (4 of 5 bars is almost invariably showing whenever I look).I've tried one site which suggested using the RALink drivers instead, but I could not even get that to recognise and activate the WUSB600N, so I'm back with the current (as of today) Linksys drivers straight off their site (18-Jan-10 3.0.10.0). Adhoc 11n disabled, 11h enable, Multimedia/Gaming disable, Radio on/off enable. I've tried with all enabled, but still happens. So I'm back with default configuration.
I've had the adapter for a while now, successfully running on XP SP3 with the linksys software. I could see networks, connect to them with WPA security and get an IP address. I recently tried uninstalling the software, then connecting the adapter to install only the drivers and let windows manage it. Since then, I haven't been able to acquire an IP address. It can see the SSID and connect to it, but continually tries to acquire an IP address. I've tried this with different SSIDs at work and home...same result. I've tried uninstalling the driver from device manager, but every time I restart and connect the adapter, windows recognizes the adapter. I probably made matters worse by connecting another adapter to it, in an attempt to work around the problem. That is a USB adapter, WUSB600N. Tried the same thing, but continually tries to acquire an IP address.
When I resume from sleep, my WUSB600N fails to be recognized. All other USB devices are recognized. Using up to date chipset, and Windows 7 drivers for the WUSB600N. Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 Rev 2.1.
I have a 300mbps Linksys E1000 router. However, with my WUSB600N (v2) adapter connected, even with "Auto 20mhz/40mhz" set as the router's channel width, I'm still only receiving a speed rate of about 130/144mbps.
After a lot of googling and scavenging of specifications, I've yet to fully understand what is the difference between the AE1000 and the WUSB600N. I need a good wireless adapter to pair with my E3000, so I'd just like to know what the difference is (if there is one) and which one I should go for.
I've tried to connect the usb adapter with an Acer Aspire 7736ZG, installed with Windows 7 64bit edition. Well, I *can't*.
- I started the CD installation and when prompted, I've connected the USB stick. Well, the stick couldn't be detected, and the installation couldn't continue.
- Then, I used the Windows7 drivers and managed to install the device (device manager, sees the device normally). But, the CD still couldn't continue the installation of extra software.
- Ok, no linksys software - no big deal. I would use the Windosw wireless management program. NO! The card seems not be present, and the only wireless connections I get, is by the onboard 802.11n card of the laptop (don't ask why I bought an extra 802.11n card).
- Nothing happens by disabling the onboard 802.11n card and trying all over again.
- If I go to the connection and sharing center and select "change setting of adapter", well, my expensive and cisco-super-duper card, isn't there, and I can only find the Atheros ARB93 Wireless card and the local (wired) adapter.
So, to sum up, 64bit driver seems to be installed correctly on the device manager (as proposed on other threads) but the adapter is not present on the system. How cool is that?
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.
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.
