What are average home-group transfer speeds? I feel like mine is slower than it should be, but I have nothing to compare it to. From one Windows 7 machine to a Windows 10 machine, transferring a video file over wifi, I'm averaging anywhere from 300 kbps to 1 mb.
According to Speedtest.net, I have a 4.37MBps download speed, and 2.22 mbps upload speed.
Currently have a WiFi network setup for internet. Both computers connect to the router via WiFi Dongles. Which is running no problems.
Each computer is then plugged into a network switch (cheap 4 port stand alone unit) via Ethernet cables (gigabit ports) and into the switch I have also have a WD My Cloud.
Having various issues, such as unidentified network, network being defaulted back to public, the ip addresses I have assigned being reset to obtain automatically and only getting transfer speeds of 3MB/s
Running windows 10. No home group/work group setup, have 1 drive on the other computer shared and mapped as a network drive.
So i updated to the preview last week, since then, my wifi connection speeds have gotten worse..Perhaps it is a coincidence, but i dont think so since i still pull pretty good speeds on my iphone, but on my lenovo all in one, speedtest it is like 2 mbps. Prior, it would be 25-30, i haven't moved it either.
View 1 RepliesA few weeks ago I installed a SSD into my desktop and installed Windows 10 on it. I never checked my speeds at the time so I'm not sure exactly when my download speeds started to be terrible, but I assume it was then. Other computers on the network get the proper download speed (which is supposed to be anywhere from 30mbps to 50mbps on Time Warner Cable) where mine will get anywhere from 19 to .6 mbps.
The upload speed however doesn't fluctuate as badly. I've reinstalled my wifi drivers, I've also tried to use my old usb wifi dongle to see if it was the card in any way, but I still had the same speeds. My card was getting the proper speeds prior to my fresh Windows install so I can only assume either I've done something wrong driver wise (which I can't seem to track down) or maybe it's a hardware issue I introduced by installing the SSD. Either way, I'm lost as to how to fix it. And one suggestion I cannot do, unfortunately, is hook my computer directly to the router.
I have a peculiar issue with wifi on Windows 10. My computer shows a wifi link speed of 270 Mbps and i have tested the same by sending huge files over my network. Now the issue is that i strongly believe that something in Windows 10 is throttling the internet speeds drastically. I am only getting half of the subscribed download speeds on my Windows 10. I have other devices/phones connected to the same wireless network and they are getting full speeds!
I have tried several things but i am unable to achieve full download speeds on my Windows 10. This has been affecting me for the past around 15 days. Prior to that things used to be normal.
I'm using Win10 x64 and Intel 520 240GB SSD:
For my mobo, Asus P8Z77-V-Deluxe, I downloaded the official asus chipset drivers.
There is one for Win8.1 x64 and a Beta version for Win10.
The chipset driver for Win8.1 has installed the following:
1. under Device Manager> IDE ATA/ATAPI controller > Inter 7 series/C216 chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller
2. Version 12.8.0.1016 - Date 2013/08/01
If I install the Asus Win10 chipset driver, then instead of the Inel SATA controller, I'll end up having Standard SATA controller by Microsoft.
I'm currently using the Asus beta Win10 chipset driver, however I manually installed the Intel SATA controller which is officially supported on Win8.1 and is digitally signed.
I ran two SSD benchmark test with AS SSD (latest version).
With just the official Win8.1 chipset driver as mentioned above, I'm getting the following results:
With the Win10 beta chipset driver and the Standard SATA controller by Microsoft:

Can spot the difference?
I had to do a complete reinstall of Windows 10. However, the new install still recognizes the old homegroup and I didn't write down the password. Now I can't change the password. When I open up the homegroup window, I can join, change sharing settings, but I can't change the password. I have administrator rights for the pc.
View 5 RepliesI have set up a Homegroup on two laptops which use Windows 10 and both connect to the Homegroup. However, neither will display any computers on the Homegroup.I have tried all sorts of things but all I seem to get from the Homegroup trouble shooter is that there are network problems. I have tried changing the advanced sharing options on both laptops to:
1. Turn on network discovery and ticking automatic setup ....
2. Turn on file and printer sharing
3. Allow windows to manage ....
Then clicking save changes.When I go back into the screen the radio button that I selected for turn on network discovery has been deselected and the turn off button selected. Nothing seems to make any difference!
My desktop has a MS account and my portable is a local account. I have set my desktop with a Homegroup PW and have chosen what I would like to share with my portable (following the forum's instructional video). However, I do not know how to proceed from here in order to get the two computers to communicate. Do I have to go to my portable and enter the PW, and if so, how is this done? If not, what do I have to do? Also, I would imagine that once things are set up right, in order to communicate, both computers would have to be on?
View 3 RepliesI have recently had to refresh two laptops both running Windows 10. Two different errors both resultimg from updates ( BSOD !) Got them both working again but now they can 'see' each other ! Both say 'Create Homegroup' but when I try both have the same 'Windows can not create a Homegroup on this computer'. Both say there is no homegroup!. I've tried refreshing my laptop for a secong time but still no luck.
View 18 RepliesI have a home network with 4 Windows 10 and two Windows XP computers. The 4 Windows 10 computers are in a Homegroup and all are set up to share files and printers. I can access documents on all of the computers in the homegroup from every other computer in the homegroup. Two of the computers are logged in with local user accounts. The other two are logged in with Microsoft ID user accounts. One of the Microsoft account computers has an HP inkjet printer and a Brother laser printer attached via USB ports. I can print on those two printers from the host computer and from the two computers logged in with local accounts. I cannot print to those two printers from the other computer logged in with a Microsoft user account. When I try to do so I get a notification that says "access denied, unable to connect". If I change that one computer to a local account, it works just fine immediately, but when I change it back to a Microsoft ID user account the problem recurs. That would seem to preclude driver, homegroup and network problems, but I rule nothing out at this point.
View 6 RepliesI just rejoined my dad's homegroup, but my computer appears twice... one with my MS account profile picture and name and one without either... but they both show the same folders, etc.
Is it possible that the homegroup is picking up the local account I had prior to logging in with my MS account?
Now my MS account one vanished and now it's just "Chris."
I upgraded (free) two computers to Win10 primarily so I could view the hard drives from either computer. When one was Win7 and the other was win8.1 I tried to set up a homegroup for different operating systems with no luck.
When I go to Control Panel/Homegroup (win10) there is no option to create a homegroup. The only options are: Change advanced share settings... ; Start the HomeGroup troubleshooter; and Join now.
None of these leads to creating a HomeGroup. How to create a HomeGroup?
Is there a way to be able to share "desktops" in Windows-10 using "Homegroup"? If not, is this possible in another way?
View 3 RepliesI've tried every "fix" I've come across and I cannot get my homegroup back up.
Is there a way to use the command line to leave the homegroup? This has been difficult since I upgraded my PCs to Win10. Using flash drives to share files is getting old.
Finally found a use for a library. Can create it locally, but there's no share context. Can not use homegroup. Is shared/public library even possible?
View 5 Repliessuddenly none of my computers can log onto my homegroup. They all say one is available, but when I put password in it just keeps running as if it is looking but can't proceed. I am not able to change homegroup either.
View 3 RepliesI recently upgraded windows 8.1 with Bing, which had a homegroup, to windows 10. After the upgrade I was unable to set up a homegroup. Message, "this computer is unable to set up a homegroup"...
View 1 RepliesI had a Homegroup defined on Windows 7 Professional before upgrading to Windows 10 Professional. The annoying thing is right now I don't have an option to create a new homegroup, I only have an option to join the homegroup that was created on this same machine in Windows 7. The problem is I don't know the password and I'm not giving the option of changing the password or removing the Homegroup.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to join a Homegroup. When I try to join an already setup Homegroup I am told which account on which machine holds the password. I go there but none of the Homegroup options are view password; all I have are "Change advanced sharing settings" and Start the Homegroup troubleshooter". Where can I view the password?
View 3 RepliesAfter updating my trusty 7 rig, I find that my homegroup has been ruined. My "old" home group is still being advertised as ready to join, but when I try to connect (from the same box it was created on with W7) it ultimately says: Windows no longer detects a Homegroup on this network. To create a new homegroup, click OK, and then open HomeGroup from control panel. When I do that, I get right back to the same place.
I have:
Deleted the Appdata under roaming
Started and stopped the homegroup and peer services.
Renamed my PC
I would create a totally new HomeGroup if I could, but I am not given the choice. My next step, once xBox users are off line, is to reset my Router.

I'm not sure if it's related to the last update or not, but suddenly my homegroup started saying my other PC was offline. So I went and left it and recreated it, and sometimes it'll connect for maybe 5 minutes then disappear again. Also, it's saying almost everytime I try to join that Windows No Longer Detects a Homegroup on this network. Very strange since it's showing it. I can get to the other computer via the Network icon so it's not a disaster, but this is a frustrating issue.
View 1 Replieshaving trouble recovering my password for a Homegroup, Windows 10. I know, know - I don't know why I don't have it written down along with my other bazillion passwords..I'm on the computer I used to set up the Homegroup, which I vaguely recall setting up a year or two ago when we first got this desktop. I'd like for other computers to access files on this desktop, I assume via the Homegroup. but I can't recall the password to connect to this desktop via Homegroup.
I've read that if I'm logged into the account on the computer used to create the homegroup, I should be able to go through control panel/ Home group/show or print password - but I don't see that option.
When I go to CP/Homegroup... it says "bsn on NISNESTPC has created a Homegroup on the network" - and only gives me two buttons to "join now" or "close". If I attempt to "join now" - I get as far as needing to enter the password, of which I can't remember. There are also 2 links for "change advanced sharing settings..." and "start the homegroup troubleshooter". how can I recover my forgotten HomeGroup password in Windows 10??
I have a small network of computers and Homegroup is working a little to well. The network has had to have some changes, machines converting to W10 and changing names. The problem is there does not seem to be a way to refresh the Homegroup list of machines that have joined the Homegroup.
Or is there? do you know a way to display only the machines live on the LAN.?
I have set up home network behind a router. every basic operations as folders sharing work but when I try from Windows 10 machine to join homegroup created from another computer running Windows 8.1 the operation is unsuccessful. The homegroup was firstly created on the Win8 machine. Same homegroup password is used same of course. Home group listener/provider services are started on both computers. Why is it not working?
View 2 RepliesI have multiple PCs in my house, one that I use myself, and one that is used by the others. Now I need to transfer about 80GB from one PC to the other, and I decided to try the homegroup thingy. Now I never set it up, not on my PC, nor on theirs, but since my bro is still very young, I can't guarantee that he didn't do anything, but I did check on that computer, and the homegroup doesn't exist.
So that homegroup doesn't exist, and when I check from my PC it finds a homegroup. I click join, and when it comes to joining, I get an error "windows no longer detects a homegroup (it can't detect what doesn't exist anyway). So how can I create the homegroup ?
I also want to state that I want to create the homegroup from my PC because this is the PC that stays open most of the time.
