  • Consider using Ethernet for all your uses. Make sure wireless is WiFi 6 as that helps if you need to use Wireless

  • @John unfortunately that's not an option, and besides that single use case of sharing large files between the devices I'm pretty happy with wireless. I'd rather make the wired connection work

  • Note that I find transfer from PC-to router-to PC much slower than internet access. For example, though SpeedTest.net shows speeds of ~150 Mb/s over WiFi, and ~300 Mb/s via Ethernet, PC<->PC transfer via router is ~50 Mb/s, at best, and often bogs down. This might just be an issue for the setup here, though.

  • Pretty sure I got this working before - can you share the actual settings from your boxen? And I don't think you need the root when testing. Oh and windows blocks ping by default so check your firewall settings
