Slow SMB sharing speed

over wifi 2.4Ghz this is about what you can expect depending on where your router is and how many other networks are nearby.

I have some folders shared onto my network with SMB. But my transfer speeds are just near 2.5 MB/s which I feel are very low. The shares are located on my Laptop which is connected via WiFi (2.4GHz band).

Are these speeds which I should be looking at or there is something that I have configured wrong? Thanks.

I am getting pretty fucking sick and tired of the "watch something else" responses. It's such a cop out answer because you could say that about basically anything, and it doesn't address the actual complaints. People use it as some kind of card they pull when they can't actually respond to the criticism raised but they still feel like they need to defend some company/person. If you don't like this thread then stop reading it. See how stupid it is? It's basically like telling someone "shut the fuck up". It's not a clever responsive, it doesn't address anything said, and it is rude.

In his video titled "I Visited Apple's Secret iPhone Testing Labs!", he has shown that he makes no effort to fact check Apple's claims, and takes it at face value. I do not believe he can be trusted as an Reviewer/Influencer.

Thanks. What I just tried was connecting these computers directly to my router via ethernet. I got speeds well in excess of 15 MB/s which was great. But sadly, for this, I have to sit right next to my router which is not feasible for me. I sit in a totally different room than my router and I dont have any ethernet cables which are run down there. Anyways, thanks again!

Yeah. My server(laptop) is probably the bottleneck over here. I have a 5GHz router but this laptop is old and hence doesn't support the newer band. All my other devices connect via 5GHz.This share is not really important for me but its just helpful to access my docs from other computers or my iPad. I don't use this for any other purposes than storing docs or some pics. So this is not really any issue for me. I thought I had configured something wrong and was wondering about that. Thanks for helping!
