Title: Checking transfer speed..... Help needed.
Post by: _RT_ on September 05, 2010, 09:22:09 AM

I have been using the DNS-321 for a while now.  To date it had been used with two XP machines.
Now I'm using Windows 7 and the speeds seem to have dropped tremendously.

For example - Right now I am transferring pictures from my laptop to the unit and am getting between 400 and 800 Kb/s.

Anyone have suggestions on how to figure out where the problem may be?

Also.... I know it's a wireless issue as when hardwired, I am getting 10 Mb/s.

Thanks-

are  you saying that your windows 7 computer is wireless?
are the two windows xp computers wireless as well?

Uh... try moving your wireless AP and laptop closer together?  Try moving it away from interferors (microwave, baby monitor, etc)?  Try moving your AP onto a different channel, preferably one that doesn't overlap another channel and isn't used by anyone else nearby?
