    Gigabit LAN upload 25%-50% of download

    Just as closure on this. I ended up taking Norton off and replacing with free Kaspersky Cloud, but just the AV component. I wasn't very meticulous in the end but the problem was either in the intrusion protection or wifi protection components of the Norton, not the firewall. Using iperf with 5...

    Gigabit LAN upload 25%-50% of download

    I could. In the meantime just turned more bits of Norton off on both machines, running wifi so I don't have to run to the attic at the moment, and the upload (laptop->server) just doubled to nearly 400mbps over wifi (PHY T:650/R:650) . Download on the other hand didn't change even though...

    Agreed, software was what I was expecting, to be exact windows. No monitoring software that should be active. Inssider 4 installed but make sure not running when testing. Not aware of any background component there. No gaming drivers that I know of, no games ever installed. Norton Security...

    Are you thinking hardware or software, Colin?

    Gigabit LAN upload 25%-50% of download

    Stuck my d-link switch in front of the router and connected the server and laptop but no difference. I think I need to peruse jperf for a bit to get it to saturate the link. Will check the forum and other links. I was rather hoping for a "Oh, you just need to change this in Win 10 scenario"...

    Gigabit LAN upload 25%-50% of download

    Unfortunately no, the only other I have is a Lenovo G505S laptop which they documented as having 1G lan but turned out to be Fast Ethernet, Qualcomm Atheros 8172/8176/8178 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller according to the driver. I mean I could try it but don't think it will reveal anything.

    Gigabit LAN upload 25%-50% of download

    cacheing where exactly ? Specifically using LAN Speedtest Server as I understand it runs RAM to RAM. May give iperf a try, or more probably the jperf installation. My initial suspect was the Huawei router which was I tried it with my retired TP-LINK Archer C7 with just the 2 PC's attached. Same...

    Gigabit LAN upload 25%-50% of download

    Been searching the internet for days now with no joy. Hope somebody here can help. This problem is purely internal LAN and not ISP related. I have a Lenovo ThinkServer TS140 running win8.1 pro connected by Intel Ethernet Connection I217-LM gigabit adapter and cat6a cable (6ft) to ISP router...

    Linksys EA8500 Max-Stream AC2600 MU-MIMO Smart Wi-Fi Router Reviewed

    UPDATE ON AIRPLAY: OK so have just updated to Jan '16 firmware, realised I was on Aug '15 firmware (DD/MM or MM/DD confused). Very happy to report all working well at the moment. Have Airport Express connected to EA8500 5GHz, Pure Contour connected to EA8500 2.4GHz, and Airport Express on Cat5...

    Linksys EA8500 Max-Stream AC2600 MU-MIMO Smart Wi-Fi Router Reviewed

    Very interesting. Encourages me to try again although I have managed to get everything running by avoiding putting any of the receivers on the 8500. I updated to the latest firmware as soon as I got the router. All settings were at default when I started and apart from running in bridge mode the...

    Linksys EA8500 Max-Stream AC2600 MU-MIMO Smart Wi-Fi Router Reviewed

    Had a live chat with LINKSYS last night and according to them everything is fine with AirPlay. Hmmmm right. Typically when I was in that chat things were behaving themselves with both the Airport Expresses (which I had done a factory reset) and the laptop connected to the Linksys on 5GHz. As...

    Linksys EA8500 Max-Stream AC2600 MU-MIMO Smart Wi-Fi Router Reviewed

    The loss of shared storage option is not a major loss, just an annoyance since the old MyNet did support it when bridged and was not I think generally considered the best router in it's time. Also the reviews never seem to pick up on these things. The rest of the stuff that isn't available when...

    Linksys EA8500 Max-Stream AC2600 MU-MIMO Smart Wi-Fi Router Reviewed

    Just picked up one of these on eBay to replace a WD MyNet900C acting in wired bridge mode on the end of a powerline connection from my main router (BT HomeHub 5 - I'm in the UK) up on the 2nd floor. First negative observation is looks like storage doesn't work when configured to Bridge Mode...
