| Mar 8 at 4:31 | comment | added | DrMoishe Pippik | 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. | |
