How can I test LAN network speeds between my computer and my NAS? Ideally always test with a wired connection to limit factors (wifi interference) Here is a few steps i would do in order to find the problem and test network speed: First, make sure that the links between your NAS and network is correctly beeing displayed as gigabit and that your cable are OK
How to determine a network cables maximum speed? - Super User Doing a speed test from PC to PC, etc may not be accurate because your computing power might need to be very powerful in order to push that kind of data CAT6A would guarantee up to 90 meters whereas CAT 7 would be guaranteed for 100 meters for 10Gbps speed -- At last, the cables may not matter because you may just have 1Gigabit network links
How to diagnose local network speed issues? - Super User iperf to test plain network speed Use ftp transfer of big continuous file to test network speed + writing to NAS drive Small files will slow down transfers If you got acceptable speed over ftp then tweak samba settings to improve throughput Cables very rarely improving speed, it is either working or not
How to test router-to-PC connection speed? - Super User Please add the OS and router model you have BTW, you can connect the laptop both wired and wireless (eventually with a virtual network device), and test the transfer data speed between the two connections (The bottleneck is the wireless connection)
Method for testing bandwidth speed between two set points I can speed test both locations of course, but that isn't necessarily representative of the actual throughput between the two points Given the different ISP's and service speeds, I imagine I'd get different results depending on which end I test from One connection has 3x the upload speed making it the better server end I believe
