Alright, im sure there are a ton of these threads, and I searched through a lot of them and they did not help.  Basically im sitting right under my wireless router and only getting about 20 mbps... After configuring some of my wireless settings IE( changed the width of the sifnal to 20/40 mhz, and changed the channel to 11, (was on 6)

now speed test is reporting 50mbps.  But when I try to transfer a file on my network via a mapped network drive (and all my ethernet cards are 1000 mbps), it starts transferin at 8MB/s but immediately levels out to 3-4MB/s, which would obviously be 24-32mbps which is really low... especially seeing how my laptop has a great connection, and everything else is gigabit...

any suggestions?

OH ya, and I had been using the firmware 1.32NA, but just upgrade to the 1.33, same issues though

Hi,

I use a copy utility called TeraCopy (TerraCopy ??) and I think it helps get things moving especially with larger files.  Windows is known for glomming up the works with file copying...

Just a thought....

Same issues here. Although my Dlink shows me connection speeds well above 200 Mbps, the average file transfer speeds are in the region of 4 MB/s. WLAN is encrypted with (WPA2 Personal, AES)...

have you gone through the list of things to check for improving your connection? Sometimes Windows is very optimistic when reporting connection speed....

With error correction and overhead a 200mbps connection will probably max out at 80-100 mbps.

[ICANSEEYOU7687]

Well if I could get 80-100 mbps I would be happy.  Because that comes out to be 10-12 MB/s whereas im getting about 4.

I have a few tv shows and movies I recorded through my DVR at 1080i, and I get some horrible buffer times when viewing over wireless (even with dvd quality).  But i think there might be some other issue.  Because 3-4 MB/s should actually be able to handle both of those fairly easily.  But the videos require a buffering time which they shouldnt...

As far as windows goes, what kind of optimizations are you refering too?  I have things like wireless N enabled, and the signal strength set to max in the network adapter configuration.  Anything else I should be aware of?

True but 100mbps real world is 7-9 megabytes a second. Plus the protocol overhead. Around 4 megabytes seems to be the average with SMB. Ftp Ive found to be the fastest. Also hard drive speed seems to come in play with older drives. Some dvd video bit streams peek out very high because they are variable bit rate. I could see them going over the 4 megabyte line in high action scenes. The truth is wired is the only way to go to stream videos with high bit-rates say over standard youtube quality.
