I have what I would consider a “gigabit” ethernet network.
Router: Apple Airport Extreme (gigabit version)
I have a wired connection from router to PC and WD TV Live Hub and MAC BOOK Pro using CAT 5e cabling.
From PC <–> router <–> MAC BOOK Pro, I get around 32-45 MB/sec
From PC <–> router <–> WD TV live, I get around 7-9 MB/sec
From MAC BOOK Pro <–> router <–> WD TV live, I get around 7-9 MB/sec
Hence, limiting factor is WD TV live 
it is what it is and it’s very disappointing especially since they advertise “gigabit ethernet”
