Title: How to tell the LAN port speed?
Post by: gideon on March 21, 2011, 01:52:26 AM

I replaced my old netgear router, which died recently, with a shiny new DIR-655 on my gigabit wired home network. Now I see that file transfer from my NAS is very slow (about 1 megabyte per second). I would like to check if the NAS has connected at 1Gbps to the router. I was browsing the "stat" or "attached device info" in the routers configuration webpage, but could not find it. To be precise, I do see the connection to the NAS, but there is no indication of the connection speed. Any hints?

What connection speed so you see on your nas. And what kind of nas do you have? How old etc.

NAS is Buffalo LS-W1.0TGL/R1. It shows 1Gbit per second link speed. With different computer I got about 10 megabytes per second, but it is still about 10x shy of the full speed I expect of the RAID-0 NAS on a gigabit network. Is there a tool to measure router performance?
