Make sure all your ethernet cables to and from the router and to and from the modem are at least cat5e and that you are using the supplied ethernet cable that came with MyCloud or better, (if you have them) then I would also advice you to go into your control panel on your Windows 7 and then go into the “services” section and you need to make sure that the following 4 settings are set to “Automatic” and that they are (even) started:
- DHCP Client
- NET TCP Port Sharing Service
- SSDP Discovery
- UPnP Device Host
Doing the above helped vastly improve my transfers to and from MyCloud, Of course I would also suggest anyone experiencing slow transfers to ensure they have a Gigabit capable router too.
