RT-AC66U / Slow SMB

[wombatek]

Hi!

I have complete 1 Gbit wired network. To the router plugged WD 2 TB using as SMB share and DLNA. Problem is in write from LAN max speed is only 12-13 MB/s what is eqi for 100 Mbit network is it ok? Some limitions of Router/FW or bug/conf?

*FW 380.57

Thank you.

have you connected your WD 2TB drive with USB cable, or is it WD BOOK drive (NAS) connected to LAN port?

if this is USB harddrive you can't expect too much from cpu in router

LAN speed is not the bottleneck in your case. Hence, you don't see much difference with 1GbE upgrade.

Write speed over USB 2.0 max is about 20MB/s on a modern PC. You're getting 13MB/s on your AC66. It's all good and be happy.
