New Around Here
Hi All,
I hope someone can help as I'm fairly new here.
I currently have 2x NAS drives (Synology boxes) that are talking to each other over powerline home networking (AV500). I also have an iMac connected so using Finder to view/transfer files (AFP I think? I'm not so techy regarding protocols used).
The issue I have is that when transferring files from one NAS to the other I'm averaging speeds of 3MB/s. One of the NAS drives is plugged straight into the router (a Virgin superhub which is the Netgear CG3101D). So as I see it I have a Gigabit network enabled. My Mac has the option of setting Jumbo frames however I can only see the hard drives when setting this option, the folders can't be seen. If setting to 1000baseT on 1500 MTU on full duplex the folders on both NAS drives are viewable. And both NAS drives are Jumbo frames enabled.
The NAS drives should have 60MB-100MB read/write speeds respectively (of course they won't get these but the loss should be max. 20% I would have thought).
I'm not sure if using a switch would help as basically the Hub is acting like a switch? Especially as there is only 1 computer involved.
Does anyone have any ideas where I am getting this annoying bottleneck, where I should be seeing speeds of 15-20x faster). Or how to improve the network short of hard wiring cables.
Many thanks for any help given,
Sean
