The Problem:

I have two PCs (both Win10). Both have the same specs. When i transfer from PC1 to PC2 across the 1Gbps network i get 112MB/s. However, when transferring the same file (after clearing the system file cache via RAMMap) from PC2 to PC1 i only get 50-70MB/s. My guess is the "bonded" feature is working only in one direction since you can see its roughly half the speed. Can't figure out why though. Maybe one of the moca devices is defective??

What I Have:
  • 2x Actiontec ECB6200 (MOCA 2.0 - vent case top = H/W: 2C) - firmware: 2.11.1.50.6200.7
  • Cat6a ethernet cables used
  • Modem: TP-Link TC7650 (DOCSIS 3.0) -- No Moca PoE Filter attached since doesn't need it (see attached image for downstream/upstream bonded channels)
  • Asus GT-AC2900 Router (Modem and Switch 2 is connected through this)
  • Switch 1 - TrendNet TEG-S50G (PC1 and MOCA1 is connected through this)
  • Switch 2 - TP-Link TL-SG108E (PC2 and MOCA2 is connected to this)
What I Tried:
  • I swapped MOCA devices to see if the problem occurred on PC1 to PC2. Nope. The problem was still the same --> Speed from PC2 to PC1 was 50-70MB/s, while PC1 to PC2 remained at 112MB/s
  • Testing using direct Ethernet cables (so no MOCA devices - everything else the same) resulted in both PCs getting a stable 112MB/s (both directions).
  • Both MOCA devices are connected directly to each other with a 1 foot coax cable (i tried different sized coax cables).
  • The ethernet cables are cat6a (all new and tested)
  • I changed coax cables and changed ethernet cables multiple times. No affect on speeds.
  • The connection goes like this: PC1 -> ethernet -> Switch 1 -> Ethernet -> MOCA1 -> Coax cable (1 foot) -> MOCA2 -> Ethernet (1 foot) -> Switch 2 -> Ethernet -> Router -> Ethernet -> Modem (Docsis 3.0) -> Coax -> Moca PoE Filter -> Demarcation Box
  • Speed tests were performed via iperf3 (see results in thread replies) and file explorer
iperf3 Tests Performed:
  • PC1 = 192.168.1.101
    PC2 = 192.168.1.100

  • On PC1 (PC2 is running as a server via: iperf3 -s -V -i 1):

    Test #1: iperf3 –c 192.168.1.100
    Test #2: iperf3 –c 192.168.1.100 –P 4 (4 Parallel Connections)
    Test #3: iperf3 –c 192.168.1.100 -w 1M (TCP window size)
    Test #4: iperf3 –c 192.168.1.100 -R (Reverse mode = Server is SENDING, Client receives)

  • On PC2 (PC1 is running as a server via: iperf3 -s -V -i 1):

    Test #1: iperf3 –c 192.168.1.101
    Test #2: iperf3 –c 192.168.1.101 –P 4
    Test #3: iperf3 –c 192.168.1.101 -w 1M
    Test #4: iperf3 –c 192.168.1.101 -R

Test 2 is the one to use across moca as it can saturate the bonded pair. Since you have only two moca devices, it should also be in turbo mode.

btw, the moca status pages are too small to read, but i can see 2 bonded channels.

Deepest apologies for the images being too small. I've corrected them (click for larger views).
I assume from ur reply in what you are seeing of my results that everything appears fine?

What baffles me is when using File Explorer (Windows) the speeds of file transfers is consistently half when doing PC2 to PC1. But when file copying from PC1 to PC2 it is double the speed.
When i swap MOCA devices the speeds are the same (PC2 to PC1 still half). It is only when i remove the MOCA devices and use direct ethernet that the speed between both PCs is the same (at 112MB/s). So it seems to indicate something is up with the MOCA. But the #s via Test 2 seem to look fine.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

BTW, how do u tell from the Status pages that both devices are using 2 bonded channels?

iperf bit rate and the two humps on the frequency plot.
If you want to rule out the moca being the issue, swap the two PC location (exchange them) and see if the result follows the PC. File explorer is a test, but i expect there are other windows variables in play as file explorer was not designed for testing purposes like iperf was.

Yup i had already tried that out via swapping the mocas..meaning, i attached MOCA2 to PC1, etc. Strangely, the result remained the same...in that the slowness was still from PC2->PC1.

Interestingly, the slowness disappears completely when i remove the MOCA devices from the network -- meaning, when both PCs are conencted directly via ethernet cables. The speeds are (maxed out) fast in both directions...no hiccups at all. So it indicates it's not a Windows variable(s) setting issue, nor weak performing NIC cards (eg. the debate over RealTek NICs vs Intel NICs -- PC1 has RealTeck PC2 has Intel), but it seems the problem is squarely centered on something to do with the Moca devices.
