Wired Network Slow - Wireless Fast

They would be my first suspect when debugging network problems.

I see that you provided partial iperf figures above. Could you please repeat them and:

  1. Copy/paste the output here, if possible. Screen shots are ok but less useful since they can’t be included in a search.
  2. Post the full output, including the command, in both directions (ie also with the -R flag).

Hi, is this what you needed? Ta

Client connecting to 192.168.0.12, TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 85.0 KByte (default)

Not exactly. I was hoping to see the full iperf (preferably iperf3) results both ways, together with the commands you ran. For example: Very weak WiFi performance

Ok, this better? :slight_smile:

Yes, better. (I reformatted it so it’s now even better. :wink: )

The figures are a bit erratic but not that bad. I came to this thread a bit late, so missed one important point. In your first post you stated:

I assume you mean that you were copying files from the Vero4K+. The thing is that nothing in the log indicates that you’ve NFS-mounted the Syno NAS on the V4K+. So how exactly did you copy the files across?

Yep. Thanks for doing that - how did you do it btw?

I was copying from the Vero as you mentioned, just using Kodi’s file manager.

Highlight the text then click on the </> symbol.

TBH, I’ve never used the Kodi file manager over a Kodi NFS mount. You can run a small test that uses kernel-based NFS to see how it performs.

sudo mkdir /mnt/syno
sudo mount.nfs 192.168.0.12:/volume1/downloads /mnt/syno

then we can time the copy of a file:

time cp <filename> /mnt/syno

Cheers. Think I am just going to pop the drive in a caddy as the the simplest of solutions. Thanks for the assistance though.
