E3000 slower wireless transfer to USB vs. LAN

My wireless transfers of large files to my Western Digital 2T (1021) drive run around 3.8 - 4.2 MB/s wirelessly.  On the LAN, I get between 7.2 - 8.5 MB/s.  I just upgraded to firmware 1.0.04.  These are the same speeds I got with fw v1.0.03 too. Here are my settings for my 5GHz wireless:
Wireless Sec: WPA2 Personal
Channel Width: 40MHz only
Channel: 149 - 5.745GHz
AP Location: Disabled
Frame Burst: Enabled
Basic Rate: Default
Trans Rate: Auto
N Trans Rate: Auto
Trans Power: HIGH
CTS Prot Mode: Disabled
Beacon: 75
DTIM: 1
Frag Thresh: 2304
RTS Thresh: 2304
Am I doing something wrong here or is there a reason for the HALF speed transfer rates wirelessly?  Thanks for any help!

bump, still no solution.  Linksys instant chat has been less than helpful.  
So far, I've set everything back to default on the 1.0.04 firmware.  Reinstalled my wireless driver on my laptop to make sure I hadn't changed any settings.  So, as far as I can tell, everything is configured the same way, I'm just not getting the speeds I used to. :-(

  • WRT610N - slow wireless transfer betwen 2 Macs

    I have 2 MacBook Pros running OS X 10.5.6, both connected on 5Ghz channel 36, 270 Mbps transmit rate, both Macs in the same room as the WRT610N.  When transferring files wirelessly between the Macs using AFP file sharing, it maxes out around 2.3 MBytes/s, which is about 19 Mbps, obviously nowhere near the 270 Mbps max link speed.  If I connect the 2 Macs using Ethernet, I can get 60-80MBytes/s transfer over AFP.
    Is there some setting in the WRT610N config that needs to be modified to improve 802.11n transfer speeds?

    pnikolsky, appreciate your response.  you're doing a transfer between a wireless client and a device connected directly to the router via gigabit ethernet.  i would assume that would be faster than transfers between 2 wireless clients.  however even 6 MByte/s seems slow for your setup.   i would expect your setup to get 12-16 MByte/s. 
    also, based on 8 years of using various wireless routers (dlink, netgear, linksys), i know that changing beacon interval, dtim, thresholds, etc. has no major effect on transfer speeds.  you really only need to play with those settings if you're having connection problems to the router itself, which i'm not fortunately.
    thanks for responding anyways.

  • Slow data transfer to USB External Drive - Help

    I'm running the WD MyBook Essential 160GB via 2.0 on an iMac FlatPanel 1GHz running OSX 10.4.7.
    Questions:
    1. I want to both (a) back-up my 80GB HD for on a regular basis in case of emergencies and also off-load media files (Mainly movies/photos) I may want to access later but don't want on my internal drive taking up space. Is there any recommended software that will do both? Do I need to partition the external drive to do this, i.e. one side for the back-up and one side for media file storage?
    2. I stupidly bought the USB2.0 version of MyBook when I should have got the FW. Is there a way to make transfers faster? The transfer rate is unbelievably slow. Is there any reason that transfer of 10G would take almost all night?
    Thanks for any help.

    Assuming the internal drive of your USB case is Parallel IDE/ATA, this is all you need at $46 + shipping:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/MacAlly/PHR100AF/
    If it is SATA, this is what you'd need, at $60 + shipping:
    http://www.cooldrives.com/combo-sata-drive-enclosure-firewire-and-usb.html
    To tell the difference between SATA and Parallel IDE see these images of the back of the hard drive which I got off the Newegg store website for SATA (images are reduced for typical web browser page size, but still show the importance of the difference between the ports): and Parallel IDE .
    I might add some SATA hard drives have the 4 pin power connector you see on the right of Parallel IDE drives in addition to the standard SATA power connector. Don't let this confuse you.

  • Slow wireless transfer (incoming files only)

    Hi,
    In our office we have 4 iMacs (Two CoreDuo & Two Core2Duo) & all are networked via our wi-fi router.
    One of the CoreDuo iMacs has a VERY slow transfer speed when anyone else sends files to it. EG: mount the iMac & drag files over to its desktop.
    This problem iMac has no issue in dropping files onto other peoples desktops, a speedy transfer as normal.
    An example of the slow speed: sending a 3MB PDF to the iMac takes about 25 seconds, compared to all the other iMacs taking less than 1 second.
    I connected this machine via Ethernet to the wireless router & the problem goes away. So, its only a problem with incoming wireless transfers.
    Any ideas how to start solving this issue?

    I seem to have had some success experimenting....
    In my network I see 2 folderss "My Network" & "Workgroup"
    In "My Network" all the other iMacs appear (& one appears twice)
    In "Workgroup" only 2 iMacs appear (the one with the problem does not)
    Now here is the interesting & slightly confusing part.
    Regardless of which network folder I use a particular machine will either connect via a CIFS/SAMBA dialogue window, or a ( & I presume its AFP) a Guest/Registered User style window.
    I noticed that if I get a CIFS connection, transfer is SLOW. If I get a AFP?connection, transfer is fast.
    I am able to recreate the problem now on the other computers if I get a CIFS connection.
    The thing is I cant work out how OS X decides to present a CIFS or AFP dialogue box - it seems random.

  • Slow file transfer from USB 3 hard drive connected to EA6300

    Hi,
    I have a 1T external hard drive USB 3 connected to my EA6300 and I have a transfer rate of 3MB/s on my macbook air (AC wifi).
    If I connect the HD to my imac and create a network share I go up to 25MB/s (from macbook air). So it's not a wifi issue, I suspect more an issue at the USB / resource management level.
    Did someone experience the same issue? 
    Thanks for you help

    Hi,
    What is the brand and model of your external hard drive? It might be a compatibility issue.
    I have a 1TB Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex (portable) and it doesn’t have a problem. I made sure that the firmware of my router is updated and did a reset  after the upgrade and configured it manually.  Also, I removed the hard drive before I did the router update.
    I used another hard drive and both of them have no issues with transfer rates.
    I do believe that your transfer rate concern is directly related to the usb hard drive compatibility of EA6300.
    You might need to check this website so you can see if your hard drive is compatible with your router.

  • Extremely slow wireless xfer from Macbook to USB drive on Airport Extreme

    I have tried to set up my external 1TB seagate USB drive to my AE for wireless network storage (only 1 computer on network, but I also have an AppleTV). If the drive is connected directly to my MB the transfer speeds are fine, but when I try to go wireless the speeds are extremely slow - to the point of unusable. I am sure these issues have been discussed previously, but I cant find an obvious solution. Is there anyway to run network diagnostics to see what my MB->AE transfer speeds are and what my AE-WWW speeds are? I dont recall the cable bandwidth that I get from Time Warner - but it is one of the faster options.......

    There are at least two explanations for this: (1) Your wireless connection is like to be slower than a direct USB connection. (2) Apple base stations are quite when serving connected disk drives. One reference cites 10-30% of the speed of a directly-connected USB drive.

    I wouldn't expect that to be a factor in the performance you're seeing.

  • E3000 poor wireless signal

    I recently parted with my ancient Linksys BEFW11S4 router to get the E3000.  I live in a 2 bedroom apartment, not very big.  The old router's wireless signal didn't reach the living room about 20 feet away.  I was under the impression the E3000's wireless signal strength was much greater.  However I was disappointed to find out that my PS3 and Laptop are still not able to connect to the internet.  My laptop will sometimes get connection, but only 1 bar or 3 at max.  The PS3 does not pick up the signal at all.  It is broadcasting mixed so my PS3 should pick up the 802.11 g and the laptop 802.11 n.  However neither is performing as advertised.  The E3000 is designed to support a 2 story house wireless but it can't even support my small apartment.  Am I doing something wrong?  Why is the signal strength so terrible? 

    I am having a very simalar issue with my E3000. I was running only G with my E3000 becuase of a compatibility issue with a WGA54G. I tossed the WGA54G and got a D-Link DAP1522 so that all my devices (PS3, Netbook, iPhone) would be N. I have a few questions.
    What should my real world transfer speeds be? I am transfering from a NAS drive (not using the USB port, an Ethernet NAS) and getting 1.5MBps which isn't any faster than when I was on G. If I use 5ghz band the speeds are much worse. I tried every channel with both 2 & 5ghz and very little difference between channels although a few were worse than others.
    I haven't realoaded firmware yet and I haven't changed the advanced settings so I will be doing those next.
    I have seen a few time to set these settings:
    "Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304"
    For my information how are these setting supposed to help me?
    Thanks.

  • With supervised ipads, what is the best way to transfer photos and videos from the ipad to the PC? Wireless transfer is not an option in our circumstances

    With supervised ipads, what is the best way to transfer photos and videos to the PC? Wireless transfer is not an option in our circumstances.

    There are only two ways of transfering things on the iPad.
      - via WiFi
      - via usb cable
    From what I have read, you need to connect to iTunes on the supervising PC.

  • Slow wireless network since Vision upgrade

    I was "upgraded" to the new look vision on Wednesday the 5th of June. The next day I noticed that my iPhone 5 and Nexus 7 tablet was getting a very slow wireless connection. I reset the hub but the problem still persisted even though it was showing a full signal. 
    I then changed from BBC1HD to the BBC1 freeview and the phone and tablet sprung to life. I changed back to the HD channel and the wireless crawled to a stop. I can now replicate this everytime.
    My BTHOMEHUB3 is connected directly to the Vision box via a 2m ethernet cable (yes I have tried replacing the cable without success and have tried connecting to different hub ports). Speedtest indicates a download speed of 76mbps download and 15 mbps upload. When I switch to the HD channels the download speed drops to 58mbps with no change to the upload speed, so I dont think the speed is the problem.
    I am hoping that someone here has experience with this problem as it has me baffled. The call entre suggests I leave the vision box and router switched off for an hour before reconnecting and to call back if that doesn't sort the problem (it didn't) I am reluctant to call back because the next person I speak to will just have me going through the same crib sheet again.
    Mant thanks.

    Quite seriously, the servers themself are really the least likely
    culprit here. Everything points to a much more wdespread problem
    affecting pretty much everything on the network. That could be the
    network itself, or some machine that has crapped out and overloads the
    net, something like that. NW65SP8 / BM3.9 is extremely stable, including
    all included drivers.

  • File Sharing Problem and slow data transfer

    Hi,
    i just receive my MBP a few weeks ago and i wanted to transfer some data with a friend who has a MacBook. I tried to share a folder and it cold not be seen by the MB as guest login. i checked the permission when i add the folder to the file sharing as read only. Second problem i had is more intriguing...finally a i decide to log in as Me with the MB, and then i saw my folder shared. he copy the stuff he need it with an acceptable speed. He shared a folder to me the same way i tried and it works!! but the more frustrating was to see how slow was the transfer from the MB to my MBP. Can find any explication...any suggestion???? please !!

    slowness of wireless transfer speeds could have something to do with your access point/wireless router.... if you have bad bars on your airport card then try moving closer to the signal.
    also what is that total size of the files you are trying to move to each laptop?
    i remember when i transferred a fair amount of MP3's it did take a little bit of time....

  • Snow Leopard freezing and slow wireless

    I installed Snow leopard, installation went fine since then my computer will randomly freeze for increments of 30 seconds up to a few minutes. Happens on iTunes, Quicktime and safari. I also find to have a very slow wireless connection since the installation. Any ideas?

    strange, my wifi's as fast as it normally was.
    machine is: macbook 13.3" unibody 2ghz, 4gb ram
    wiped it clean beforehand, installed SL fresh then restored my work via time-machine on install
    Cocktail's a good util to customize your wifi speed, although it won't work on SL
    My machine is set to 64bit mode though, however to be honest the 32/64 bit is a mystery at the moment, seems the kernel remains at 32 whereas the rest can happily go to 64bit with 64bit apps running happily against 32bit ones.
    May want to time-machine your work, install fresh and restore from time machine. just use a usb-portable or huge memory stick, will only need to do it once.
    Michelle's machine has the same problem (core duo macbook white), going to look at that tomorrow, will post if i solve it

  • Slow wireless on Time Capsule

    I realize this question in some form or another has been posted ad nauseum, so I'll apologize in advance.
    I'm running a 500 GB Time Capsule. I recently got the bright idea to extend the network and bought a couple of new AirPort Express (11n models). I pulled an old Netgear router out of the mix and switched the network so the TC would serve as the router and the Expresses would extend the network. I reset the TC and started from scratch. I even tried forcing the 5Ghz setting to see if that would speed things up.
    Before I even get to configure the Expresses, I'm running into a VERY slow wireless problem with the TC. My MacPro plugged into the TC with ethernet is moving around 8Mbps online. My iPad and MBP are lucky to get 700Kbps. The iPad and MBP are in the same room as the TC, less than 10 feet away from the unit, so walls, etc. are not an issue. Strangely, according to Speedtest.net, I get about 1.2Mbps UPLOAD speed on the iPad while only getting around 700Kbps download. That strikes me as very unusual.
    I've checked the SNR per earlier posts and they seem in the very good to excellent range.
    Is this a bad unit or is there something more I should be looking at?
    Thanks in advance
