Why is my Home Network so slow?
Hello, I have a wireless network at home, attached to which is a Network Attached Storage device (Network External Hard Drive).
The setup is:
DLINK wireless gateway (it’s router configured as gateway), with my Hard drive plugged into this wireless gateway, and the wireless gateway plugged into the wired DSL modem.
for some reason, when transferring data from my pc to the external drive, I get ridiculously slow transfer rates. When on wireless, I’m lucky if I get 1 mb per second - but is normally around 600 kb per second. And even when I use the ethernet cable (plugged into the wireless gateway) I still struggle to get 5 mb per second.
Windows reports my wireless network speed as 54 mbps, and my wired speed as 100 mbps. Both the gateway & laptop are in the same room - just a few feet apart. I’ve also upgraded all my network cables to Belkin cat 5e in case that was the problem, but did little to help.
Can anyone suggest what might me the problem, or how I might found out the source of the problem?
Thanks!
