My guess is when you are connecting from the outside you are hitting your max bandwidth of the internet connection you have. The max transfer speed determined by your internet bandwidth is probably way less then what your local transfer speeds are. Thus you never notice when you are outside...

Well the issue is resolved. This makes no sense too me and hopefully someone can explain but by enabling QoS in merlins firmware my local ftp write speeds sky rocketed from 2 MB/s to 14 MB/s. I would have thought disabling QoS would give me the higher write speeds but its not the case.

Having a place for my friends to upload go pro videos, or download videos I have edited during snowboarding for downhill mountain biking. Or to share other files with them. Also to have my entire music/video collection available to me when I go business trips. If I decide I want to listen...

Yea so I updated to the Merlin firmware the latest one before I ran all that didnt help. Sounds like its the cpu being taxed, not much I can do. Maybe its the drive that is causing it to be taxed so much too, its an old USB 2.0 5400rpm 400gb WD external drive. thanks for all the help, the...

Okay I did what you said and took some pictures of cpu and processes. It looks like I am using all my cpu uploading to the ftp. Is there anything I can do about it? Does anything look wrong that can be corrected from this info? https://flic.kr/p/pMBf8j https://flic.kr/p/qGjwRC Lastly here is...

It is formatted as ext3. I did that in ubuntu. Can you give me exact instructions how to use the telnet. I know I enable it in the routers settings but what do I do after that? Sorry new to this.

Yea I figured it would be slower, but why is it getting 6-7 MB/s on Samba when I write and only 2 MB/s on ftp uploads. It doesn't make sense. If its doing it on Samba I dont see why it wouldnt reach those speeds on ftp as well. From what I read people seem to get at least 4 MB/s writes to...

I just got my RT-N66U setup for FTP and Samba. Everything seems to work okay but for some reason my FTP upload speed is not where I think its supposed to be when I connecting to the usb drive on the router locally. I am currently connected with a 1Gbps ethernet cable directly to the router...
