: Slow Local Area Network file transfer

I'm noticing that the speed of my LAN is extremely slow during file sharing. It was almost less than 1MB/s.

Here is my hardware setup
Router: Asus N56U
All computers are connected via Cat 6 Gigabit ethernet cable
All computers are running SSD
All computers running Win7 X64
Jumbo Frame enabled
Green Ethernet disabled
IPV6 disabled
Large Send Offload v2 disabled (as what most tutorials on the internet suggested)


Now, the transfer speed is up slightly (15-20MB/s) but still way far off than what my network is capable of. I remember I could reach way over 50-60MB back when running windows XP

Anyone else had similar issue? From what I've googled, it seems to be an ongoing issue within windows 7 and windows 8.

what firmware are you running?
perhaps try merlin's build
i haven't tried client to client
from reading around the AC56U's USB 3 HDD to PC will max out 30MB/s write and 60MB/s read...this is gigabit ports via Cat5e wires

I'm running the russian firmware https://code.google.com/p/rt-n56u/

20-30MB/s seems reasonable, even on my USB3 SSD I could only get about 40MB/s read from a regular 7200RPM HDD. But right now, my transfer rate is hardly at 20-30MB/s, it will start off around 20MB/s then slow down to around 10MB/s, before disabling the LSO, the speed was even worst than my WAN speed! It was faster to re-download something off the internet than to copy it via the internal network
