Very slow transfer speed Trunas scale 22.12.2 with SMB

[sretalla]

Wondering now how can the 2 ports no good while I can get gigabit speed on them when speedtesting or downloading?

It may be the entire LAN switching environment being throttled somehow as part of Tomato's setup. Internet speed tests going between LAN and WAN may be immune to the problem in that way.

Have you ever run open-wrt or dd-wrt on it?

Are you running any additional modules/software on it?

do you know if you have the Mips or the ARM version of that router?

As far as I remember the only FW compatible for this exact model was Fresh tomato, I did not try OpenWRT or DDRWRT tbh but I tried them on other routers and Fresh tomato in terms of features is way way better then both.
I am using the ARM version

 

[sretalla]

OK, so the ARM version looks the better of the 2.

Are you running any of those "features"? (just thinking in terms of resource conflict).

Also, can we try with 2 systems connected via the same additional switch (trying to eliminate the Tomato from the path)?

Ah you want to use the main WAN into the switch and use without router right?

Not necessarily.

Internet-->Router WAN

Router LAN--> second switch (port 1 or whatever)

PC1--> second switch port 2
PC2--> second switch port 3

Run your tests between PC1 and PC2

I do have just the ASUS router and the switch, so I am kinda confused about the second switch here mentioned? sorry :)

 

[sretalla]

and the switch

is the second switch...

the ASUS router

As I mentioned before, the 4 LAN ports on this are a LAN switch, so I'm counting this as the "first" switch.

I think I've tried that yesterday a few times times and it was still the same error and slow transfer rate unfortunately.

 

[sretalla]

Well, until we can work out what's causing that at your location, we're not going to get to the bottom of it.

I posted the iperf3 results generated from 2 of my SCALE systems which connect to the same switch via Cat5e cables and as you could see, the test completes and shows the expected speed.

We need to work through the elements that you have there until we work out which one is the cause... so far the only one I could see in common was the Tomato switch (or the switch-local communication).

Have you really tested 2 devices both connected to the other switch? (or were you testing with one device on Tomato and the other on the separate switch?)

 

[saebaryo]

Yes, but I tried now on another switch I had at home and the speed is pretty good!

 

[sretalla]

OK, so what's the component that's different? Cables also or just the switch?

 

[saebaryo]

Just tried again with the old switch and it worked fine between client 1 and 2 giving me 1gb of transfer rate.|
However from the Nas to any client I get max 34.1 MB.
So, it means my network is fine but not the Nas then?

Code:

Client connecting to 192.168.1.29, TCP port 5201
TCP window size: 85.0 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[  1] local 192.168.1.162 port 56558 connected with 192.168.1.29 port 5201
tcp write failed: Connection reset by peer
shutdown failed: Transport endpoint is not connected
[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  1] 0.0000-0.2896 sec  34.6 MBytes  1.00 Gbits/sec

I may be remembering wrong, but at least one of the tests you did with the NAS not involved was also bad... I'm not sure saying that the NAS is the only bad component can be right.

By all means, do the tests again methodically and prove me wrong if you can.

Well, we did many tests indeed and I got confused now myself lol
So, it seems that iperf tests between clients is fine. From from the Nas to the clients is slow.

 

[sretalla]

That's with the NAS tested on the additional switch?

Also you've changed the cables so that the ones used in the successful tests with the clients are the ones used with a test between one of those clients and the NAS?

(just want to make sure we're not falsely concluding that the problem is with the NAS (I would say probably the NIC, but we even had the same result with the USB NIC, no?)

Yep, with the additional switch indeed :)
I also changed the cables with the ones that were successfull between clients.
