Does anyone have any suggestions on how i could improve speeds ?
Or do you have simular speed results ?
Is the WD mycloud 2 TB this slow generally ?
Here are some speed tests using WD mycloud 2 TB over wi fi - files downloaded to iPad Pro
Using app WD and app file browser. Router 2.4GHz Single band WiFi
1:Download 60mbs with WD app 18.96 seconds.
2:Download 60 mbs with file browser app 24.52 seconds.
3:Download 198 mbs with WD app 01:01.12 seconds.
4:Download 198 mbs with file browser 02:00.21 seconds.
I am interested in how to achieve a better speed for download if any suggestion do post please.
With the above speeds any files like 3 Gigs for download are off limit.
Purpose is for WD mycloud to act as a storage folder of videos for editing in LumaFusion.
That is one bottle neck, the other is potentially the iPad Pro’s WiFi speed/capability. A third bottle neck is if the My Cloud is not connected to a Gigabit router network port.
Generally using a wired Gigabit connection will yield the fastest speeds. When that isn’t possible (like on a mobile device or tablet) then one needs to check the technical specifications of their tablet/mobile device to see what the WiFI capabilities are. One then needs to upgrade their WiFi router to match the WiFi capabilities of the mobile/tablet device if one is using an older WiFi router. From the sounds of it you are using an older less capable (WiFi speed wise) router. You should look to upgrade the router if possible to a faster WiFi speed.
For example if the WiFi side of the router is only capable of N300, yet the mobile device is capable of AC1200 (for example) then the speed will be limited to the slower N300 WiFi speed of the router.
