How do you do the test? Are you using scp? Can you compare that with other transfer methods like http or samba? Just curious if it's general slowness or ssh-specific slowness. I have the Actiontek Q1000 with Century Link. My server is connected by wire to a router, and from the router to the Actiontek. My laptop is using 802.11n. For transfers from server to laptop with http (wget) I'm seeing 4.9 MB/sec and with scp I'm seeing 4.6 MB/sec. I don't know if that is optimally fast, either. Mike
