Slow Speed Through Readynas Remote
Hi, i am quite noob to the readynas duo but am getting round things slowly, basically I wanted to set up and share a drive with my friend next door for music,films etc like an old school collaborative...
1.5GB over 13 hours is about .2564Mbps or 256Kbps.
Are you trying to share with your friend by having him pull from the shared folder via the internet? Or, did you share your wireless connection with him?
If you are sharing via internet, you are limited by your Internet Service Providers upload limit and your friend's ISP's download limit. (Go to http://www.speedtest.net to check). 256Kbps is a pretty standard upload speed limit from many broadband ISPs. I only have 512Kbps upload on a good day through Suddenlink cable.
If you are sharing via a wireless connection, then you'll be limited to the wireless transmission rate, reception quality, etc.
Does your ISP require an MTU of less than 1500? Check out TCP Optimizer (http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php). It has a nifty tool that will check for the best MTU for your application (look under the MTU/Latency tab) by pinging other websites.
