Good Morning,
By connecting the NAS via wifi network, the notebook can transfer files at a speed of about 4-5 MB/S, but through our ASUS TF700T can transfer files at a speed of about 1.7MB/S.
How come?
What do I need to set to be able to speed up data transfer and watch movies smoothly?
Thanks
Will have to test later.
I wonder if asus have reduced the power consumption in 4.2.1? If so that could explain what you are seeing as the signal strength is not as strong.
I can try to test the old power profile to see if it helps.
Thanks for the answer, great sbdags!
I tried the wifi with the NAS both your CROMI 3.6 JB 4.1.1 and then with Asus Stock 4.2.1 but it was always so slow.
Tonight I try to remove the fuel consumption.

Wifi Advanced settings, untick WiFi optimizations maybe?
Yes, I try to uncheck that option on by default.
Our Asus has wifi "n" right?
How should transfer the data?
Yesterday I tried to transfer the data by removing the option of saving the wifi but the speed remained the same.
I noticed that the netbook and the notebook clamp the signal at 150 Mbps while the TAB anchors it to 65 Mbps (of course in the same room).
How come the TAB does not manage to connect with full signal?
There is a program that allows you to vary the parameters of the wifi inside the TAB?
Netbooks and Notebooks connect to 150 Mbps regularly!

65Mbps is the maximum speed the TF700 can connect at.
In my experience this does not matter though as the max short burst speed achievable is ~55Mbps as shown in perfmon when writing to class 10 sd. It is lower than this when writing to internal storage. Max sustained speed I get over wifi is using andftp which gives ~50Mbps.
50Mbps over WiFi? You are lucky boy! I can confirm very poor and inconsistent WiFi performance. Speedtest.net is reporting odd results and also data transfer from my home NAS varies. Based on Speedtest.net WiFi speed is mostly 1-2Mbps occasionally nearing 30Mbps. My PC wired to same router is pulling files from internet easily at 60Mbps and from local NAS much more faster. I also tried factory reset to have rooted clean 4.2.1, but it does not helped. Also AnTuTu benchmark is not giving consistent test outputs on my tablet so I am assuming that this could be related to some newly introduced bug.
I have 65 Mbps data transfer via the Internet, but not as a hook to the router.
The netbook hooked to 150 Mbps and Tab 65
The netbook on the NAS transfers data at a speed of 10 MB / s while the TAB to 1.7 MB / S!
I thought that at least 5 MB / S arrived safely

I should clarify. I also get very low speeds using samba transfers. Max of about 30Mbps. I only see 50Mbps when using ftp (from local media server) to my 64gb class 10 sd card fomatted to ntfs. If I format to exfat or other I can't achieve as high a transfer speed.
After updating to 4.2.1 I had very low speed and it didn't improve until i cold booted twice.
I have nearly all 1080p mkv's on my files server and these can be up to 25GB in size. The only way I have found to reliably stream them from my server without stuttering is to use the FTP function in dice player.
From my point of view the problem lays in inconsistent WiFi speed. I can live happily with steady 10Mbps transfer speed for sure, but problem is that sometimes it is 30Mbps and sometimes only 2Mbps or even less, both on same network and router :silly:

Hey guys, I apologize if this has been posted elsewhere. Basically, I'm having an issue with data transfer rates over both Wifi and EVDO. The maximum transfer rate I seem to be able to pull out of my Touch Pro is ~65 KB/s over BOTH my home Wifi connection (which gives me speeds of up to ~600 KB/s through convention CPU use) and EVDO (my "theoretical bandwidth is much higher than ~500kbps or 50-65 KB/s I am getting).
The questions are :
1) Is this the type of speed I should be expecting with a mobile device?
2) If so, is it due to the file system speed/cpu speed/etc?
3) If NOT, are there tweaks (akin to, for example, increasing the receive window/MTU on a PC) that will increase my speed?
Although I do transfer files over my home network, and achieving the ability to transfer at 54mbps would be nice, I am more concerned with my internet file transfer speeds!
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
bumped...because i know someone out there must know the answers
I just want to add my voice to this comment in case it's related. I can't speak for EVDO but I seem to have odd rate limiting issues over WLAN.
Streaming video over WLAN I average about 700kbps except for the occasional burst to 4500kbps while buffering (using TCPMP).
Watching youtube videos I get a pretty steady 100kbps (way better than the 64kbps limit I get while active synced).
Using NATF 2.3 ROM with fixed video drivers.
Surprised there isn't more input here. I have the same issues in that I basically get faster connectivity from 3G than wifi..why is that?
Wifi performance is so bad I can barely watch my slingbox over wifi or even complete a VoIP call without significant breakup due to lost packets.
So I've got the TF connected to my 802.11n router (Conceptronic, C300BRS4 if it matters) and the tab reports a link speed of approx. 65-70Mb/s (found from Wi-Fi settings > tap on access point).
I've been trying to get a proper network video streaming setup to work from my desktop (hooked up to the same router at a standard 100Mb/s ethernet) but I can't get anything to stream smoothly without pauses. I'm using Plex, but I've tried a few others with similar results.
What speeds are you getting? Is there anything I can do to improve streaming over my home network?
Thanks!
Plex works fine for me, no pauses whatsoever. I'm on an 8mb/s line with a gigabit router and computer.
What kind of file are you trying to stream? Pretty sure the better the computer the more smooth it would be.
I can't seem to see what speed its transferring on my tf. Can you explain exactly what to press.
The PC is a relatively modern quad core, 4GB RAM etc. When I use the transcode option in Plex the CPU usage hovers around 50-60%, so it's definitely not maxed out. I'm trying to stream regular old AVI files, nothing fancy. Haven't even bothered trying MKVs and HD stuff.
The router isn't a gigabit, it's one of the old 100Mb/s connections. Maybe the bottleneck is there?
As for the TF link speed, go to Wireless & Networks > Wi-Fi settings > tap on the router you're connected to.
Quality: Excellent, Speed: 72Mbit/s
Hi All,
Have lots of stutter playing a video over my local WIFI. Video is 6Mbps (720p). When copied to external SD card and played from there, it's smooth. So I'm pretty sure this indicates my hardware and MX Player is all fine. I'm using the KitKatt 4.4.4. ROM.
Things change though when I play this through BubbleUPNP (source is minidlna on FreeBSD). No transcoding should take place. Then I get lots of stutters. Have also tried to play this by using File Manager HD, connect with sftp and open the video directly. Probably plays slightly worse.
Does not seem to be a CPU issue, I watched this with top, load tends to stay around 0.7, sometimes getting up above 1, but can't find much relation to stutter. CPU is around 23-40%, with 60% idle.
You would say this indicates a network performance issue. Have the tablet is within a few metres of the Netgear R6300 route I have, and distance doesn't seem to matter too much. When using a tool like Speedtest.net I hit 17Mbps over my ADSL network, so WIFI doesn't seem a limiting factor. I've even tried iperf, I get 19-33Mbps when doing that (so from tablet to my minidlna server).
I tried copying the file with File Manager HD to my external SD card, but felt slow, i.e. perhaps even less then 1MB/s. But that could be File Manager HD or the write speed to my SD card, not sure.
Other things I've tried: different player, doesn't make any difference.
I'm grateful for any suggestions people may have. Playing a 720p video over a DLNA network shouldn't be this much trouble.
Some more observations: on an old laptop, link speed 54Mb/s, I have an iperf value of 34.6Mbits/s. If I do an rsync of a 1GB file I get 2.88MB/s, so quite respectable values.
Have installed "WiFi Speed Test" on my TF300T and get 21.91Mbit/s with the tcp client test (download), which is quite respectable, and perfectly in line with other tests (AnandTech for example). However, when I do the smb client test, I get between 5Mb/s to 6.5MB/s.
Using rsync, if I download the same large file as with the laptop using rsync, I get about 1.67MB/s.
So clearly I have an issue with this tablet or ROM, not with my wifi network it seems.
Keen to hear "WiFi Speed Test" values from anynone, especially SMB/FTP values. The problem doesn't appear to be with simplistic tests (iperf), but any more complex network protocol is a lot slower. But having said that, 1.6MB/s should be enough to play 6Mbps video, but possibly the rate may not be sustained enough. Continuing the investigation.
If on your link you only get 5Mb/s to 6.5MB/s. on the smb test , it's kinda expected that your 720P / 6Mbs video will stutter, especially if it's variable bitrate or when the network fluctuate.
smb protocol has a lot of ovverhead and tends to behave badly on wifi / latency so you get less throughoutput on smb than rsync or a direct tcp test
If you don't need transcoding, you will be better to mount the smb share natively (use something like cifs manager for example) and play it directly from there.
Playing a video through the file manager's sftp or smb own libs is less efficient and will tend to give stutters every now and then as its process goes in background while the video is played in foreground.
As for stats: on a 65 Mb/s wifi link I get the following on my TF300T:
tcp client: 43.6 Mb/s
rsync: ~17Mb/s
native smb: ~12Mb/s
wifi speed test smb: ~8Mb/s
file HD manager smb: ~5Mb/s

Yeah, that's twice of what I get, so all your numbers are double of mine. Maybe it's my Netgear router?? I'll test against a different WiFi router.
On a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 I get 26 Mbps - 47 Mbps. Considerable fluctuation.
I have now tested the tablet against another R6300, no nearby wifi, performance worse then I have at home, and at a company wifi network, also not so good.
I then replaced the firmware with the latest DD-WRT, nothing much seemed to change.
I have no wireless security enabled on my network as all clients use openvpn. I then switched to using WPA2+AES, and turned off openvpn. Suddenly I started to see numbers much more similar to Tim's.
Obviously I had tested with and without openvpn against stock firmware, but that didn't seem to make much of a difference. And the fluctuation was always considerable. But with DD-WRT it seems to make quite a difference. Hit 40Mbs with wifi speed test tcp client pretty regularly.
However, it didn't make any difference with playing the video! But thanks to DD-WRT I now have graphs for bandwidth monitoring. What I saw was spikes of 40-60 Mbps for several seconds, then nothing for several seconds, then it spiked again. What it seems to me is that the MX Player, or more likely BubbleUPnP client, has problems prefetching the content. It simply doesn't do it consistently enough at 6Mbps, causing stuttering, because when the buffer is empty, it can't fill it fast enough for a second or two.
Hello,
I have a question. When i transfere files between my PC and my Phone or Tablet the transfere speed is terrible slow.
But first a few infos about the used Hardware.
Router is a FB 7590 running 2,4 and 5GHz,
PC W-Lan adapter is a Asus USB AC56 2,4GHz with 300Mbps 5GHz with 866mbps.
Phone Samsung S8 with SanDisk Extreme 128 GB microSDXC Class 10
Tablet Samsung Tab A 10.5 with SanDisk Extreme 400GB microSDXC Class 10
Connections running on 5GHz with good signal strength (Fritz W-Lan app showes ~20-30db)
But when transfering files i get max 25-40Mbps. I tried different apps and tools but the speed is always the same.
At the moment i use Total Comander on Tablet and Phone and i have set up windows 7 to have access to some folders via network.
Is there anything i can do to get more transfere speed? With this low speed it is not funny when i copy 50GB, 100GB or more.
Hi,
I use an Android Headunit in my car, I only download updates when connected to my house wifi, and downloading the map updates takes forever. I'd love to be able to download on my laptop or phone, and then transfer to the car using a memory card.
Anyone have any ideas if this could be done?
Thanks
IMO download speed doesn't depend on device where data should get stored, but on Internet speed.
Download speed refers to how many megabits (Mbps) per second it takes your TomTom server to download data to your device.
If speed score is fast — around 100-200 Mbps — this indicates that your slow download speed has nothing to do with the Internet. If your speed score is low — below 100 Mbps — this could be an indication that the Internet may be the problem.
Keep in mind that your speeds vary depending on the number of users that are on your network at a time.
Thanks but, Laptop uses Wi-Fi 6 AX, to connect to router, Android Headunit Wi-Fi 5 AC and further from router. Additionally I think headunit is only 2.4Ghz connection as opposed to 5Ghz on laptop.
IMO you are confusing bandwidth and Internet speed.
