So, I moved my PC from Z9X media room to another room and they no longer connected via ethernet cable. I am using a Deco Mesh system and my transfer speeds went from 80MB/sec to 10-11 MB/S. My switch connected to Deco and to the Z9X has Gigabit ports so that should not be the bottleneck. Thinking out loud, I may try to switch the Z9X from Deco to wifi and see if that helps. Any other suggestions?
Wi-fi is the work of the devil when he's not messing about with CEC and should never be used for streaming local content.
Out of interest with the following All components connected via Ethernet. Source: NAS Operating systems: Windows 7 - 10 and 11 Action: Copying a 10GB MKV file containing a video, 2 language tracks and 2 subtitle tracks and a chapter file, from NAS to an internal drive in a Zidoo What typical transfer speed should one expect ? (Is how long is a piece of string the answer?)
Yup... unfortunately it appears you have something messed up with your new PC location/local network infrastructure... that's for sure...
Is the other end of the cable connected to a mesh access point? You will be limited by the WiFi signal quality at that mesh node in that case.
Yes, I am and so its technically still a wi-fi Mesh point and yes its terrible. Now, I did remove the Switcher in the middle from mesh to switcher to Z9X and connected Z9X directly to the Mesh Point with ethernet and speeds have gone up to 20MB/s so that's something. Wonder if dedicated NAS systems have same/similar issues for file transfers and read/write speeds.
Should've asked whether NAS will have similar issues over Wi-Fi when NAS is connected directly to router but Z9X is connected to Mesh system in another room.
