Any settings which improve LAN transfer?

Are there any specific settings which impede/improve LAN transfer rates on this box?

Im getting 4.7 MB/s and while I do understand its proicessor limited in the box, 4.7 MB/s on a cabled fast LAN connetion is really poor, im guessing there must be something set which is cuasing it.

My machine is Win7 64bit and the Router is a Linksys 4 port N class router, BOX is connected to the HUB as is my machine. Anyone know of any settings this box doesnt like?

Can you provide more information in regards of your network settings and configurations, 4.6 MB/s is a bit slow, normally I get between 7 to 9.

I have a similar problem sometimes I get 7 MB/s when I’m lucky, but verry often it get slow, now in this moment I get only 1,78 MB/s. Anyway even if the initial speed is about 7 it ofen get slower after a bit and get stable at about 4 - 5 MB/s.

I have a 10/100 modem with a cat 5e ethernet cable, I did transfer test with other product and notebook and I get well good speed (allways at least 9 MB/s stable).

When I transfer a file into the unit I do not use other web application or p2p program or similar to try save more bandwidth

So it’s a hub problem, probably the unit doesn’t use enough processor power when transfer a file.

When I transfer files my hub is not connected to any video device does it matter with the problem?

The comunity wrote a lot of thread about this problem but even in the last firmware there aren’t improvements in network speed…I hope WD can find a solution becouse it’s realy annoiyng to wait 2 hours to transfer a 10 GB file.

What’s your network setup? Are you using 1Gb/s switch/Router? I reached your numbers on 1Gb/s network connectivity but over 10/100 Mb/s network the max number was 5 MB/s…

I use a cat 6 ethernet cable and a 1GB switch (Netgear).  I usually get around 6Mbps when ripping from a pc to the Hub.  When I rip to the MyBookLive it is a much faster transfer.
