Hello,

 

I have a new AX1500. It's configured with exactly the same hardware pieces as my previous D-Link router based network, which worked great. The AX1500 has been excellent so far, except for one strange problem.

 

I have a tried and true Buffalo NAS connected to one of the AX1500 Ethernet ports - 1000Mbps Full Duplex. The NAS is just a media file server for my TV's, and has been working great for 6 months now. With my D-Link router, I would get around 12 MBytes/sec writing new files to the NAS from my PC. The write speed was limited by the D-Link WiFi connection speed.

 

My PC is using a 5GHz WiFi connection via the AX1500. The WiFi speeds have been excellent, and I can top out my Internet feed reading data. Much better than the D-Link. When writing to the NAS from my PC, I get fluctuating speeds, but they typically ranging between 1 to 3 MBytes/sec - very slow.  If I read a file from the NAS to my PC, I get over 20MBytes/sec.

 

I just can't figure out why I'm getting such slow speeds writing to the NAS with the AX1500? Writing to the NAS was much faster with the D-Link. Reading from the NAS to my PC is very fast with the AX1500. Does anyone out there have any suggestions as to why things are so slow writing to the NAS?

 

Any replies appreciated.

 

Thanks

Hi@Old_IT_Guy,

May I know what file you are trying to write?

 

Here are some suggestions:

1. Make sure that the NAS, router and client use Gigabit or above network ports, and replace them with Cat5e/Cat6 network cables;

2. Bypass the router and directly connect the NAS and the computer via the network cable for comparison testing;

3. Turn off unnecessary background tasks in the NAS (such as indexing, antivirus scanning);

4. Clean up the file fragments of the NAS.
