Hi all, I'm in the process of getting up to speed some new network gear.
My question regards a test file transfer from Windows PC, wired by Ethernet to a new Archer C8 (AC1750), and then over AC to a Mac.
For the test I created a share on the PC (fwiw, it's an SSD) and put two 1GB files in it.
On my Mac (and over the AC wifi, sitting near the router) I connected to that share via a smb: path, and then in Finder I copied those two files from the shared folder on the PC to my Mac.
This copy (two files totaling 2GB) took about 35 seconds -- so roughly 55MB/s.
Is that about what I should expect?
I thought AC over 5GHz was spec'ed at 1300Mbit/s (or ~162MB/s) -- I don't expect to reach that theoretical limit, but is 55MB/s "to be expected"?
Thanks kindly!
