Hi I purchased a WDR4300 yesterday and have set it up. The internet is running smoothly although the transfer speed is rather slow. When transferring from my computer to my Seagate GoFlex Home i get about 6 - 8 mbps with Wireless N. The router is set to only use Wireless-N and my laptop has the latest drivers. I have also tried other computers in the house and the speed is the same. The GoFlex Home is connected to the router via a LAN cable. Prior to updating i used a Linksys WRT54GL and managed speeds of about 3 or 4 mbps over its G only connection. As for transfers between 2 computes the rate is about 1 - 3 mbps

As for distance the Wireless router is only about 1.5 meters from the laptop (across the room) with nothing in between them to cause interference. I have also checked what channels my neighbors use (using inSSIDer) and picked 13 as there is only 1 other person nearby on that channel and they are quite far away.

Any suggestions as to why the Wireless N is so slow?

Maybe your Seagate GoFlex Home has some limitation of the speed in writing and reading?

No I don't think that's the case. As i also get the same slow speed between 2 computers that are both very close to the router.

Good Review

The rate at which hard disks can read and write data will limit your transfer speeds. The go flex is no speed demon. I agree with Andrew

I am fairly certain its the wireless not the GoFlex home as i plugged it in via lan (Computer > lan > Router > lan > GoFlex Home) and am getting around 24MB/s to 28MB/s.

But when i use it via the Wireless (Computer > Wireless > Router > Lan > GoFlex Home) i cant get above 7MB/s.

Any suggestions? I have reset the router to its factory settings but it never gets any higher.

I have av similar problem with my TL-WR1043ND. The bandwidth down should be 100 Mbits. But in fact it is only 55 – 60 Mbits. When I connect my computer directly to the net, the speed is more than 90 Mbits. How can I configure the router to avoid strangling the speed?

@handla@hennix. 

 

I have the same issue. Directly connected to the ISP entry point I get 500Mbps. Through the WDR4300 I only get 90Mbps.
With another router I get 500Mbps, so there is something wrong with the WDR4300.
