I have 2 computers hard wired and only get 10MB/S when transferring files between the both computers. My internet service is 25MB/S download 3MB/S upload which works fine. Its just the LAN that seems slow, here are my specs.
Router: 655 with the latest firmware
Router: Disabled QOS and With (same speed with it on)
Both computers: show 1 Gbps in network at the network adapter.
Both Computers: good hard drive
Both computers: newly installed Windows 7 professional
Both computers: CAT 6
Both computers: within 10' of router

I've been trying all kinds of settings and can't figure it out.  Please help.

If all devices are supporting 1Gb connections, 10Mb is around what you should see. Any firewall or anti virus programs running in the back ground? You will not see the 23Mb connection as that is the connection between your ISP modem and the ISP.

Between my Gigabit LAN connections, I see 250-400 Mbps (31 MB- 50 MB) transfer speed.
Antivirus, especially McAffee, gets in the way of that transfer with on access scans.
Defraggers, get in the way.
Open up task manager and watch what goes highest CPU, it should be your transferring program.

The only way to get the max out is to have one read disk access transferring to one write disk access.

I found using FTP, instead of Windows network, will transfer faster. Make sure allow only one connection at a time.

Since it is Windows 7 (assumed all machines), it should be optimized for broadband, so that shouldn't be a problem.

If not all W7, use TCPOptimizer on the non-W7 machines (www.speedguide.net)
Update all NIC drivers.

I hope this helps
