I can say this. Your problem isn't isolated to your situation. Apparently people have been posting about this very same issue for a few years now.... IE slow network transfers in one direction only across wireless.
What I'm finding, is that there appear to be different solutions, and that most appear to be specific to the hardware. For example, from smallbuilder.com...
So, after trying a few things, I set "Enable HW Accelerator" to Off under LAN - Switch Control and now I get 1.5MB/s in both directions!
This previous SU question resulted in a working solution for someone OTHER than the person who posted the question...
I went to the configuration screen of my network adapter and changed the following configuration settings:
- Large Send Offload V2 (IPv4) = Disabled (was Enabled)
- Large Send Offload V2 (IPv6) = Disabled (was Enabled)
A solution from a Microsoft Technet post, but no news on whether it was successful...
Try disabling Receive Window Auto-Tuning:
1) Go to Start and type cmd.
2) Right-click on cmd and select “Run as administrator”.
3) Type: netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled and press Enter.
If you want to to re-enable it:
Type: netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal and press Enter.
Also you can try configure the network card :
1) Click the Start Button, type "devmgmt.msc" (without quotation marks) in the Start Search box and press Enter.
2) Double click to expand "Network Adaptors".
3) Right click your network card and click Properties
4) Click Advance tab. High light Speed & Duplex
5) If you would like to use the full functionality, please set the Value to the highest Full.
6) Click OK.
There were also some smaller posts where people fixed their issues after finding that settings in their routers or network adapters had not been set to Full Duplex... that changing from an AUTO setting to a specific Full Duplex setting resulted in equal (and faster) network transfer speeds.
Sorry I don't have one specific answer to the issue... there just doesn't seem to be a single fix.
