I have a 1TB USB3.0 Seagate hard drive attached to the WRT 1900AC USB 3.0 port. The main reason I got this router was the tests shown on this website that is has the best read / write speeds to the network storage. However, I always have read / write speeds of 8-10 mbps max. Never anything close to the transfer rates shown on here and other places.
I'm transferring files via SMB over wifi from a pc laptop (2.4ghz) via windows file manager. The computer is 10 feet from the router so strong signal. The files are anywhere from 500mb to 10gb. Transfer rates in either direction (read / write) are 8-10 mbps. I believe the hard drive is formatted as FAT32 but I'm not sure (it could be exfat).
I read through this post on Linksys forums and it appears that other people have the same issue, whether over 5ghz or 2.4 ghz connections. https://community.linksys.com/t5/Wi...eds-to-external-Storage-WRT1900AC/td-p/813838
Maybe I'm missing some settings? Anyone know how I can get decent read / write speeds to work over wifi?
Thanks in advance.
