Network transfer speed

parazaa · June 4, 2015

Hi everyone! It's has been a while since i have posted here.

Here is my problem. I have a PC and a laptop connected to TP-Link WDR4300 router via WiFi (PC on 2.4GHz and laptop on 5GHz). When i on the web the speed on both machines are fine but the transfer speed between them are low. When i transfer a file from my PC to the laptop in the first minute the speed is around 13MB/sec, but then it slowly decrease to around 3MB/sec at the end of the transfer. On the other hand when i transfer data from the paptop to the PC the speed is around 4-5MB/sec from the beginning to the end of the transfer. In both cases i dont think the speed its normal. Both machines are with Win7 and that happens whith both one larger file or many smaller ones.

Please if someone can give me suggestion what it might be the problem. Grateful for any help.

What's the router speed?

Is it the N750 version? http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-LINK-TL-WDR4300-Wireless-Gigabit-Router/dp/B00810P80S

Can you get the wireless card brand and models for each PC?

Also, what's the distance between the 2 computers? Are they in the same room?

How did you measure the "web" speed? And what is a normal speed? Try connecting both devices with cable. We need more information. Are you in a busy area? What is the speed limit on your network cards? The signal quality?
