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...
Hi Stephen, always worth a check and yes I joined the forum out of curiosity when I got my Duo (v1), but I purchased an NV+ v2 in Jan'13. So I now have both units.
I too am getting slower reads than writes on the NV+ v2, but on my old Duo reads are faster than write (as expected):
Running a 400MB file write on drive [Duo v1] 5 times... Average (W): 15.78 MB/sec
Running a 400MB file read on drive [Duo v1] 5 times... Average (R): 19.85 MB/sec
Running a 400MB file write on drive [NV+ v2] 5 times... Average (W): 25.33 MB/sec
Running a 400MB file read on drive [NV+ v2] 5 times... Average (R): 21.99 MB/sec
Firmware on my boxes: Duo 4.1.12, NV+ v2 5.3.8.
These speeds look pretty poor to me, and no where near the claimed speeds. However, I do realise this is affected by many factors, but as I posted elsewhere I think my PC is a bit of a bottleneck, or rather the built in network interface. It is a Dell 2.8GHz Pentium with Broadcom gigabit network interface, negotiation on the LAN is gigabit, but the network utilisation peeks at about 25% in windows task manager. I have tried a direct connection to the NV+ v2, but throughput was near identical. I disabled anti-virus (Norton) and I've also done a complete OS reinstall recently.
I did try from a laptop with a Core i5, and that read at ~40MB/s, write to the NV+ v2 peaks at about 20MB/s from both PCs wired (with antivirus disabled). This was using windows explorer (as I am not allowed to install 3rd party software on my company laptop), with a random collection of pictures.
Picking these numbers apart, I can see a few variations, but the overall tests seem quite a bit slower than they should be. It's a bit like car manufacturer quoted mpg - fantasy land :shock: !
