PC <Ethernet> XR500 <5GHz> D7800 in 5GHz Bridge Mode <Ethernet> NAS
The NAS is connected via Wi-Fi bridge because of the ticking sounds from the hard disk actuator arms and therefore I do not want it in the same room as my XR500.
At first, I thought that the Wi-Fi link was the issue for slow speeds, so I plugged my NAS directly into the XR500 with a Cat 7 ethernet cable. The speeds I got transferring a 1GB file were:
605mbps download, 215mbps upload.
These speeds are nowhere near the capabilities of a 1 Gig port with a device capable of 1 Gig transfer speeds connected to it.
If I take the XR500 out of the loop and connect it directly to My PC, the speeds I get are approaching 1 Gigabit speeds, confirming my PC & NAS are both capable:
880mbps download, 864mbps upload.
Can someone please advise me on what might be wrong with the transfer speeds when my XR500 is in the loop?
This issue is now resolved. It appears it was a network card driver issue on the PC, with the Auto Negotiation setting failing to 'negotiate' the correct tranfer speeds between devices.
