My gigabit network only transferring at 10MB/sec speeds

[Mohammednt0]

Transferring data from a computer to my server suffers from poor network transfer speeds.

My gigabit network only transferring at 10MB/sec speeds

My network devices are

gigabit Modem/router ,
Server with gigabit port,
and laptop connected to AmazonBasics USB 3.0 to 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter


I connected the server to the modem/router via cat 6 cable, then i connected my laptop to the modem/router via cat 6 cable , after that i maped the server network drive

Now When I transfer data on the network i get 11MB/sec, In the network tab of task manager it sits pretty consistently at 10%, it means im using only 10% out of 100% im not using the adapter full power


What is my bottleneck !? I I have spent days and days trying to figure it out, but i achieved nothing

I tried many different cat 6 cables
I bought and tried 4 usb 3.0 to gigabit ethernet adapters
I bought new gigabit linksys modem/router
I tired to update the adapter drivers
I Enable AHCI Mode
From network properties I set the adapters speed to 1Gb

I disabled Data protection software, Anti-Virus, Malware Protect

and still the problem is not solved what am i missing !?!!

Is the USB port in the laptop USB 3.0?

Is the USB port in the laptop USB 3.0?

thank you for replying,yes i checked that, it's USB 3.0

I think I have covered every possibility, I don't see where is the problem or what is exactly my bottleneck in the below setup,

I connected the server to Gigabit modem/router via cat 6 cable, also I connected my laptop to the Gigabit modem/router via cat 6 cable, after that I mapped the server network drive, Now When I transfer data over the network I get Maximum 11MB/sec, In the network tab of task manager it sits pretty consistently at 10%, So I’m using only 10% out of 100% I’m not using the Full potential of the Gigabit Network, what is my bottleneck!? I have spent days and days trying to figure it out, but I achieved nothing

In Details, I think i have covered everything, i don't see where is the problem or what is exactly my bottleneck in the below setup,
- My Modem/Router is Linksys X6200 comes with Gigabit Ethernet Ports (Check Here)
- I have update the Linksys X6200 to the latest firmware
- My Router is LINKSYS EA6350 AC1200 (Check Here)
- My humble server is ORICO Wireless Home Cloud Media Center with Gigabit Port (Check Here)
- I just bought and tried these 2 Cat7 Cables (Check Here) - (Check Here)
- my laptop is Dell Inspiron 15R 5520 (Check Here) With USB 3.0 Ports
- Laptop Drivers are up to date, I downloaded them directly from the official Dell Site (Check Here)
- I used AmazonBasics USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (Check Here), updated with the latest driver
- From AmazonBasics network Adapter properties I set the adapters speed at 1Gb
- AHCI Mode is Enabled
- I disconnect the internet, and I turn off all firewalls
- I Removed Data protection software (Anti-Virus, Malware Protect)
- I tried many different Cat6 cables
- I bought and tried 4 USB 3.0 to gigabit ethernet adapters
- I connected the server directly to the laptop using the AmazonBasics USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter but the speed is still around 8-12MB/sec speeds
- There is enough RAM 6GB ( Used 3.1 GB, and 2.7 GB is Available)
- My system is not infected with Virus or Malware (I just Clean installed windows 10 fall creator update)
- I tried all the USB 3.0 Ports on my laptop

what is my bottleneck ?!! am I missing something!?

What software are you using to transfer the data?
What tool are you using to measure the transfer speed?

A simple drag and drop from Windows Explorer is never going to give great network performance, it's just not optimised enough.

i did not use any software, please advice me which software should i use to transfer the data

i did not use any tool to measure the transfer speed!!


please advice

I don't understand this. How do you know that "I get Maximum 11MB/sec". You must be transferring data with something, and you must be measuring the speed somehow!

It is very hard to move 1GB of data from a single PC, you would need specialised software to do this. Most normal software runs on just a single thread on one CPU, and is incapable of driving the network to its maximum speed.
