No speed improvement with A6200

Your initial post said you were looking for an improvement in transfer speed but you never said what you had to begin with.
I don't see any colour on the USB port - only that it connects by a slightly different plug. the standard USB also fits.
The PC reports a connection of 280ish mb but the throughput is around 4m and this was what I started with. Given that I could be mixing bits and bytes, this would still only mean a throughput of around 34k.
I have a QNAP nas that is fully up to date and connected with Ethernet to the router so don't think there are any weaknesses there. I have still to try the direct connection to the PC so maybe there are issues with the wireless setup.
