1349553 2013-07-22 08:38:00 Here's my network architecture...

Linksys WRT610 dual band a/b/g/n router wifi routes 2 x laptops (1 mac, 1 windows 7), 2 phones (Android & iOS), 1 Android tablet + wire routes 1 x Windows 7 PC, 1 x network printer & 1 AC Ryan Playon HD Media Player.

The AC Ryan in the lounge is connected to router via a pair of Netcom ethernet over power plugs.

Until today, using Teracopy, I was getting about 3mbs up/down file transfer speeds between the Windows 7 Laptop and the AC Ryan, with sometimes 7-8GB files, always initiated using the laptop.

But today, the transfer speed for a 1.4GB file always falls back to 128KB/s. Plugged into power, I have the laptop's wifi set to full strength and internet speed tests are good.

I have tried resetting the AC Ryan, Router and replugging the Netcom boxes. No change.

1349554 2013-07-22 09:06:00 The modem and the netcom ethernet over power plugs?? Are they 10/100 or 10/10/1000? If both support gigabit, the speed maybe different Speedy Gonzales (78)
1349555 2013-07-23 00:15:00 Even at 100MB link, transfers are going to be around 12Mb/s max.....what speed are the EoP adapters, thought the max was like 400MB and even then it depands on the wiring of the house.....Interesting that the speeds were acceptable and have dived now......you need to see if the laptop or the E0P connection...

Copy from the laptop to a wired PC check speed etc to pin point the issue. Sounds like its the EoP....How old is the house?...could the cold\damp weather be affecting the throughput?

1349556 2013-07-23 01:02:00 Presumably transfer rates between any two devices other than the AC Ryan are OK? What about between the AC and devices other than that specific laptop? inphinity (7274)
