ethernet data transfer between two pc speed dropped very much in windows 8

[firefox]

I am doing data transfer between two computers running win 8 using a lan cable.
but the data transfer speed was high (11mbps) but recently after installing a new os in a laptop the speed
decreased  (2mbps)

what can be done to make it faster like before

[firefox]

You have to disable wifi and bluetooth. Then the speed increases again. The wireless features uses more of the resourses of the computer.

And for additional settings.
1.you can disable the remote decompressional API support.
2.set netsh tcp settings in global to enabled
3.disable large send offload in driver settings of network adapters in device manager.
4. and select 128 bit encryption in advanced settings in network and sharing center.
If you can get a gigabit ethernet cable.

Hope this helps. If you can get a gigabit ethernet cable.
