So I'm very new to setting up my own home server and I've become stuck and looking for help.
I have Mac mini 2011 with a USB 3.0 5TB drive hooked up, acting as my server.
I have this hooked up to my TP-LINK TD-W9980 router using a thunderbolt to gigabit/USB 3.0 adapter.
Also from the router is my PC which is connected via TP-LINK TL-PA8010PKIT AV1200 Gigabit Passthrough Powerline Adapter. It has a Asus M5A97 R2.0 which windows tells me has a gigabit lan port.
All cables use are CAT5e.
I have updated all the drivers I can find on all of the equipment above, but still when I'm transferring from my PC to the mac It goes to 15mb/s and no further!
I have also done speedtests on all the drives, and all are around 100mb/s+
I've tried changing properties on my PC for the Lan port such as Jumbo frame and speed/dulex
My PC is running on Windows 10 and Mac on OSX El Capitan.
Is there any way of boosting the speed from this or have I missed something which maybe throttling the speed.
Hopefully someone can shed some light on what's happening.
Cheers.
