FVS336G Speed question
I have a home network using an FVS336V router, and have several computers used for a home-based business. I needed more speed, so I upgraded two of the computers, replacing the hard drives with SSD's. The speed did not improve when data had to pass through the network. So I did the following test:
- Testing with folder containing 4914 files, using 188 MB on disk.
- Copy folder FROM computer 1 TO computer 1, takes 3 seconds
- Copy folder FROM computer 2 TO computer 2, takes 3 seconds
- Copy folder FROM computer 1 TO computer 2, takes 90 seconds
- Copy folder FROM computer 2 TO computer 1, takes 90 seconds
There was virtually on other traffic on the network during this test. The amount of data (< 2 GBits) should not be taking that long to pass through network.
Can anyone give me an explanation or advice on how to improve on this performance?
Thanks!!
John

Hi Hogskin44,
Welcome to the community! :)
Let us isolate the problem. Kindly answer the questions below:
a. Is the LAN adapter of both of your computers capable of 1Gbps?
b. Are you using a CAT5e or CAT6 ethernet cables?
c. Are the PCs directly connected to the FVS336G?
d. How is everything connected on your home network? Kindly post a screenshot of your detailed network diagram.
I look forward to your response.
Regards,
