Hi all, really hope someone can help.

I am running Win7 64bit (latest patches). I have a small home network which uses 200Mb powerline adapters, and I recently purchased a Synology NAS box. I'm just trying to transfer some files across when I noticed how bad the file transfer speed is.

I am getting anywhere up to 70KB/s.... :confused: At this rate, it will take me a very long time to move all my files across to the NAS box.

I have done a quick google and disabled Remote Differential Compression, and via a CMD prompt I have disabled chimney and something else... which I forget now. I have not noticed an improvement.

Most of the transfers, through the NAS software, are failing which is why I tried to drag & drop via Windows to the network drive, and then noticed the slow speeds.

Any ideas how to speed up file transfer? My Marvell Yukon NIC is running the latest drivers on the PC. Network speed is set to 100 FULL DUPLEX. I have also updated the firmware on the powerline kit as one of the improvements was for transfer speed and stability.

Thanks!

can you try bypassing the powerline network by moving all the kit into the same room temporarily for testing? if it's still fubared, at least you'd know it's a problem with the NAS/your pc and it's one less thing to be looking at.
 
Hi Marc, good suggestion, but I don't believe it... think I may have improved things just by messing around some more.

I have set the speed to "auto negotiate" and disabled all the "checksum offload" features on the NIC...

Question now is though... should it still be quicker than that???

yes it should be quicker. on a bog standard 100Mb ethernet network, you'd be seeing 10-12MB/second speeds. i have no udea how powerline networking affects things and what kind of throughput you can expect compared to their advertised speeds. it still might be worth trying the kit without the network. something isn't right anyway. you shouldn't have to tinker with driver settings in windows just to get any kind of performance.

OK cheers mate for the help. I'll try finding my long network cable (10m) and going direct from the PC to the Router (located down the corridor). See if it's any faster without using the powerline kit. If I can hit 10Mb/s I'll be well pleased! :p
