Hi,

I'm transferring some data from my desktop to my laptop trough wifi. My home network is managed with windows 7 homegroup

When my 2 pc's are connected via my router (with internet access) i get max 200 KB/s and when i create a ad hoc wifi i get 1.5 MB/s

why is that...

(copying data via network name ex: \\PC2)
