Network Connection Drops when Transferring Large Files
In short, when I try copying large files ( > 1.0 GB) from my PC (wireless AC) to my NAS (ethernet), the connection drops sometimes (the sometimes is the irritating part.
- I have a Asus wireless AC adapter on this PC.
- It is more likely to happen if I am downloading other files (from the internet) while I am trying to copy this file (and this makes sense), however I would think it would just go slower (when I have more network traffic) - not just drop the connection.
I tried...
- Replaced every cable to Cat-6 within the past month.
- On my adapter I disabled the IPv6 (as I read that can cause connectivity problems).
- Updated the router's firmware. The router is an Asus RT-AC68u
I have a second PC with a wireless AC adapter and tried copying a large file to my NAS (ethernet), and the connection also dropped.
I don't know if this is a Windows 7 issue or if my router settings need to be adjusted to correct this. I did disable the IPv6, and I thought that would take care of it. If anyone can offer some suggestions, that would be appreciated.
Thank you.
