I have an external WD drive connected via USB 3.0 to the Linksys router. I am trying to transfer a 2GB file through wifi but taking up to 12 minutes for the transfer. Why the slow transfer speeds?
I am on 5GHz Wifi about 3 feet away from the router. The external drive is a Western Digital MyPassport. The computer I'm using is a Microsoft Surface Pro 2.
I've transfered other files and they take just as long with maximum transfer speeds of 2.8MB/s .
