Wireless performance on images folder is very slow
Hi
This is my first post, but I've tried to do due diligence and research. Obviously I've not cracked the code yet though or I'd not be posting.
ReadyNAS Duo RAIDiator 4.1.7 1 drive Gigabit (cat6 cable) to a Cisco WRVS4400N (very recent firmware) Jumbo frames OFF Data journaling OFF Journaling On Fast CIFS ON Fast USB writes OFF MTU 1500
From a desktop on the same switch I get modest, but acceptable performance. I'm currently uploading an ISO from a USB drive on my desktop to the NAS at 13MB/s
My problem is wireless performance from two 32bit Windows 7 machines. Both have N wireless with connection speed at 130Mbps, WPA. MTU size on these connections has been reduced to 1430.
I have a share with multiple photo folders some with just a handful of files, some with 2000+ jpgs at >2048k. The browse from a wireless machine to these shares is very slow, and the thumbnail draw bugs out after a dozen or so tiles have been completed. It is entirely probable the the issue is causing other problems, but nothing as noticeable as the photo effect. I could live with it otherwise.
After an hour of continuous wired uploading, I do see some network errors.
TCP Retransmits 17 Unrecovered TCP Retransmits 10
Changing cable hasn't made any difference, nor has fixing the link speed from auto to 1000 FULL
Re: Wireless performance on images folder is very slow
Not yet. MTU is reduced, network cables exchanged, I've tried a crossover to a pc but that is a lousy test since the issue is wireless. The performance over wireless is hopelessly slow. I'm going to return it this weekend if I can't figure it.
Re: Wireless performance on images folder is very slow
I have the same issue but when i turn of my wireless-N function in adapter settings the folder browsing of the NAS goes fast again. Unfurtionately you can't stream any HD content and the speed is much slower (54mpbs instead of 300mbps). Did not try the MTU values yet... gonna try it next
