Small office with two identical computers setup for basic file sharing and using two applications that share data for accounting and shipping.
The one computer stores the data files for the network applications and the other computer accesses them.
Performance on the computer that hosts the files is fine. The other computer runs these applications substantially slower.
Are there any best practices for peer to peer networks outside of making sure firewall and ports allow applications through?
Does the router effect the LAN speeds? Network cables are CAT 6 and have a ASUS RT-AC66U router with everything on a wired connection.
The transfer speed when copying a file 2 GB between the two computers is 50 -60 mb/s, should this be faster? Copying the same file locally is 250 mb/s if that has any bearing on things.
Trying to make sure that the "network" applications are running as well as possible on both machines and I'm not sure really how to test or possibly improve things.
