Sluggish response from My Book Live

Hi,

I got a My Book Live drive last week and have connected it directly to my router - the drive is sitting under the desk.

My imac is also connected to the router via ethernet and sits on the desk next to the router.

When I access the My Book drive it runs likie a bad dial up connection.  It can take over a minute to open a folder and see what’s inside.

Any ideas on what moght cause this or things I could check greatly appreciated.

Thx

David

Hi Cobbyco, see if some of the suggestions on the link below help. 

When transferring large files to or from the My Book Live performance may be slower than expected
