WR1043ND v1 - Slow SMB speed

[przemko]

Hi,
I just installed Gargoyle on my WR1043ND v1 router and there is strange behavior.
When I execute an internet speed test, it shows 20MB (both directions). That is my limit set by ISP, so it is OK.
When I copy a file under windows using shared folders between 2 PCs (connected to the routher via ethernet cable), the speed is between 1 and 4 MB/s.

Can you please help me with resolving this issue?

Thanks!

1. Gargoyle Version

screen shots please

Gargoyle 1.9.0
Cables Category 5e

Please note, that the same cables are used for my regular internet connection and I can download and upload files from the internet with a speed of 20MB/s, so I believe it is not a matter of cables.

I can provide you with screenshots, but please tell me which screens you want to see.

I think you mean 20Mbps here

When I copy a file under windows using shared folders between 2 PCs (connected to the routher via ethernet cable), the speed is between 1 and 4 MB/s.

The speed reported by Windows is most likely MB/s (Mega Bytes per second) which is not the same unit as Mbps.

Assuming you are being connected using 100Mbps ethernet, transfer speed of 4MB/s is within lower end of normal range because the theoretical maximum is only around 10MB/s. You need gigabit ethernet to transfer faster.
