Hi,
I'm out of ideas so i'm posting a question here. I'm having issues with sustainable transfer speeds between two computers; a desktop and a laptop. Both use the 5 GHz frequency on a non-crowded channel. Both run Linux Mint, and the network manager claims the connection speed between 650 Mb/s and 866 Mb/s. All should be good, right?
When sharing a folder via Samba on the desktop, the laptop can only pull about 2-4 MB/s meaning streaming a movie is impossible. I ran a couple tests changing the frequency:
-Desktop 2.4G, laptop 2.4G = 3 MB/s.
-Desktop 2,4G, laptop 5G = 6,5 MB/s.
-Desktop 5G, laptop 2,4G = 7,5 MB/s.
-Desktop 5G, laptop 5G = 3,5 MB/s.
My router is an AVM FritzBox Cable modem, over a 50/10 Mbit cable connection. The modem also reports both clients to have connection speeds of over 600 Mbit. Neither computer has ANY issue whatsoever maxing out the 50 Mbit cable connection by downloading something from the internet, but traffic between each other is totally pathetic. What's going on here?
