Wireless Performance to ReadyNAS - at my wits' end...
I have been having problems with wireless access to my ReadyNASes for a few weeks now. I think I can trace the problem back to replacement of my old router and access point with new stuff. The p...
I've done a bit of testing with the software Stephen kindly linked me to.
Speeds look better than I'd expected on the Wired side, though these are not reflected in the performance figures I see reported when I do drag-and-drop operations through Windows Explorer.
From my Desktop, with Gigabit Ethernet card, I get the following:
- To the NV+ I get Write @ 26.0 Mb, Read @ 17.0 Mb
- To the Duo (MTU set at 1500) I get Write@ 5.6Mb, Read @ 19.7Mb
- To the Duo (MTU set at 1492) I get Write@ 4.8 Mb, Read @ 17.3 Mb
From my Win7/64 laptop, with Gigabit Ethernet card, I get:
- To the NV+, Write@ 33.7Mb, Read@ 25.5 Mb
- To the Duo at 1500MTU, Write@ 6.5Mb, Read@ 22.1 Mb
- To the Duo at 1492MTU, Write@ 4.6Mb, Read@ 20.7Mb
From my Win7/64 laptop, with Wireless-N card, I get:
- To the NV+, Write@ 4.25Mb, Read @ 2.1Mb then slowing down until the test failed
- To the Duo at 1500MTU, Write@ 2.6Mb, Read @ 2.1 Mb then slowing down until the test failed
- To the Duo at 1492MTU, not tested
So to the NV+ I seem to get the slightly surprising result that Writes are faster than Reads. The network itself doesn't look wrong as the native speeds seem OK if not as good as some people report. That may be because there are a couple of switches in the way. Clearly, the Wireless-N performance is not good, and looks particularly bad on Reads.
The Duo seems to struggle across the board on Write performance, though Reads are at comparable speed to the NV+. Cutting the MTU down to 1492 makes things worse not better.
So it looks as though I have some challenges first on the Wired side - on the NV+ the Read speed looks a little slow, and on the Duo the Write speed looks sickly. Suggestions to address that at all?
The Wireless performance looks unimpressive on both sides considering this is meant to be N and I have a 5-bar signal. Any thoughts of what to do here?
Again thanks to any prepared to give up their time and help me with this. Appreciated.
