Slow transfer speeds of files between computers on same network

[DELETED_83755]

Hey Guys,

I have had this problem for a while now but I really want to fix this. I have enabled file sharing of a certain folder in my main pc and I have attempted to copy this folder to my laptop via the network. The problem is the file transfer is only 500KB/s which is not very quick.

Both computers have windows 7 and are connected to the BT home HUB via wifi. I was expected file transfers of 20megabytes per second as it is on LAN. I have attempted to disable "remote differential compression" but this has done nothing.

Any ideas ?

Interesting. I didn't realise it was this slow over wifi. Thought that with wireless streaming of HD content that technology has caught up.

Thanks for you response. In response to this, what is the quickest method of transferring large sums of data eg 500gb between two computers apart from using an external hard drive?
