One of Win10's nicer tweaks is that it shows the transfer rate of data from one device to another, be it a local USB memory or a storage device elsewhere on the LAN.
I am copying some music files to a NAS drive for a friend. The source device is my laptop which connects to the LAN via wifi (n), the NAS is plugged into the router via a LAN cable.
The transfer rate varies enormously. Currently it is around 1.5MB/s (which is better than usual) but can drop to painfully slow speeds in 'K's/s for no apparent reason. Currently 5GB is looking to take about an hour- but if it goes into 'slow' mode it could still be at it tomorrow morning :grayyawn:
As there is no significant other traffic on the network (that I know of) I would love to know the likely causes of the drops in speed. Or even if there is a way of diagnosing.....
TIA.
