What are the WiFi specifications for the iPad Pro? How is it connecting to the WiFi network, using WiFi G, WiFi N, or WiFi AC? Finally one needs to look at the capabilities of the WiFi client device. Is the router Gigabit capable? If not then that will be one bottle neck for transfer speed. Then one needs to look at the connection from the My Cloud to the router. What is the make/model of that device? What is it’s WiFi specifications? Is it WiFi AC capable? If so at what speed? If one is using a WiFi access point (or WiFi extender) then how is that device connected to the main router the My Cloud is connected to? When using a WiFi access point or WiFi extender it is possible there is a bottleneck for the speed between the access point/extender and the main router. When dealing with trying to figure out slow WiFi transfer speeds one needs to first look at the capabilities of the WiFi router or WiFi access point. That speed is approximately 28 MB/s for the read speed and approximately 26 MB/s for the write speed to the My Cloud. As the screen capture above shows the read/write speed from the laptop PC over WiFi to the Asus AC1900 router then over 1GB LAN to the My Cloud. In my post above I indicated which device was on wired LAN (the desktop PC) and which device (the laptop PC) was on WiFi. Otherwise it’s an apples to oranges comparison.Ĭan you do a speed test with LAN on your wifi please. The end result when discussing WiFi speed is one needs to know the hardware specs of the various WiFi clients/router devices when trying to compare one person’s speed test to another.

We don’t know what the AC spec speed was that WD used. Obviously the slower of the two WiFi end points will limit the overall speed.Īs the Laptop PC example shows the read/write speed is above what the WD chart shows. When it comes to WiFi AC one needs to also know what the specification is for the router and the WiFi device.

My Cloud: first gen v4.x My Cloud with user replaced 8TB WD Red drive Windows 10 Laptop PC: USB 2.0 AC1200 WiFi network adapter (on the 5ghz band) Windows 10 Desktop PC: 1GB wired network adapter on motherboard

Router: Asus AC1900 (AC68U) with Gigabit wired networking ports While I don’t have an iPad, here are some general real world examples.
