I've run across a really weird issue with my Linksys E4200.
Ordinarily, this thing is a rock star.....with my current setup, it's moving files at up to 10 Mbps between computers in my house.....it'll move a gig of files in about a minute.
I'm *very* happy with that performance.
However, I've found something weird......I've noticed that when I connect my iPhone 4 or my ASUS Transformer TF101 to it (both wireless N devices), I get extremely slow file transfer speeds.....maybe 1 Mbps. And it fluctuates significantly. Sometimes it goes as high as 2 Mbps.
This is whether I'm moving files off my computer, or simply trying to stream from the web. It results in stuttering video when trying to watch Netflix etc. and that doesn't happen on the PC itself (which is connected wirelessly).
It also causes trouble with Skype.
I thought maybe the problem was the devices, but I have now tested them at work with our WNDR3700, and they connect at over 5 Mbps.
So it's something between them and the E4200.....any ideas?
