| | G Network tuning question I have two HP Laptops running Vista Home Premium, connected to a Microsoft MN-700 (g) router. Both laptops have a 4965AGN adapter. I have good performance for my DSL-based internet connection, but when I make file transfers between the laptops, or between a laptop and a NAS that's also connected to my router, the speed is cap'ed at about 1.6 MB/sec. I expect the network speed to be much better, closer to the limits of (g) networks. My wireless quality is excellent, and my router/adapters are in (g) mode. Can you recommend a way to increase this speed? Is there a parameter that "caps" a network connection? |

| | Re: G Network tuning question Hi I do not know which NAS you use, and whether or se wire or Wireless for transfer. However, almost all Entry Level NAS have Speed problem and they are Slowwwww... A computer with WHS and Giga card is usually a much better solution. Jack (MVP-Networking).

| | Re: G Network tuning question I don't think it's the NAS (which is a Linux-based HP MV2120). I had the exact same problem when I was connected to an XP-based desktop using the same router connection. Also, when I connect the two laptops via the MN-700 router (without NAS), the network connection is always "caped" at 1.6 MB/sec... ================================================== "Jack (MVP-Networking)." wrote: Quote: > Hi > I do not know which NAS you use, and whether or se wire or Wireless for > transfer. > However, almost all Entry Level NAS have Speed problem and they are > Slowwwww... > A computer with WHS and Giga card is usually a much better solution. > Jack (MVP-Networking). > > "SLA_personal" <SLApersonal@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:83146205-DF02-411C-B3F2-763ABE43EB87@xxxxxx Quote: > >I have two HP Laptops running Vista Home Premium, connected to a Microsoft > > MN-700 (g) router.

| | Re: G Network tuning question the MN700 was not known for its speed. (and on the wireless side it could not even get certified for WPA2 because it was too slow). it is also 10/100 on the wired side. get yourself a better router. a reasonable cost one is a DIR-655 from DLink. there are others. note that there is no guarantee that the draft 2 N routers will be upgradeable to the final standard (just as there are no guarantees that your Intel wireless draft n card will be upgradeable. make sure you have the latest drivers for the Intel wireless NICs too.
