If this unit has only a 10/100M Port, how can it transfer up to 500mb if the port only supports 100mb max?

I don't honestly know the answer but I do know there is a matching model that has 4 ports out. In this case, the 10/100T limit makes more sense.

From what I saw on another page, from TP Link: Though the speed of the Ethernet port is limited to 100mbps, the data transmission and receiveing between the devices will be approximitaley 500mbps, given the integrity of the circuit. Someone else posted that essentially if you add more than 2 of these in your house, the combined bandwidth could be up to 500mb. In my case, I had a near-wifi dead zone (1 bar, Amazon prime wouldn't stream), and after adding this, and a wifi router I turned into an AP, I can now stream Amazon prime without any issues, via ethernet to my roku, and wifi on my other devices gets MUCH better signal. In short, if you only plan to get 2 of these, you shouldn't need the 500mb ones. If you plan to setup 3+ over your house, and you have a gigabit router already, then go that route. I got these b/c at the time, they were the same price as the 200mb ones. Good luck w/ your purchase!

Very valid question. Although the unit has 10/100Mbps ports, the transmission rate in between units can be up to 500Mbps. With their crummy management software I can see that at my home in between the units I'm able to get about a 145Mbps connection on the horrible wiring job in my home. So when thinking about this, the 500Mbps unit or 200 Mbps unit are talking about the transmission rate capabilities between each other, not maximum attainable network speeds, with that in mind depending on your wiring and distance between units that number can drop significantly.

Yes. 100Mb requires at least cat 5. Cat 6 is just better cable - capable of 1000Mb.

up to 25 MBPS Bandwith.....10/100/1000 gig-E WAN ports...does not support 10GB bandwith

Gigabit is pointless Unless you have a hundred high speed computers all hooked up to it trying to download a massive amount of data at once. In most instances, 10MB is plenty fast for data transfer. 100MB is even overkill. Your computer couldn't even process that much information per second unless you have an insane fast computer with high speed SSD drives. Or you're trying to stream 4K video in a hotel room, for some reason. If you find a Marriott with 4K tv's in the room - let me know.

Sorry, its USB 3.0/2.0 only. The only way to get it on the network would be to connect to a computer and then create a share.

It can only take a very limited amount of GB. I out in my sub with 64GB and it wouldn't read it. I put in 4Gb and it worked

This unit has a single (one) usb port, you could try to use a splitter but I could not say it would work. You should contact the manufacturer (TP link) on this.

I can see no way to do this. The device reads cards but has no way to move data.

You can use any USB connection up to 3.0 which the drive is configured for. It also runs FW 800 with the special add on adapter. The USB connection speed is limited to the speed of you computer's port so if it is not USD 3.0, it will transfer at the lower speed based on your computer configuration. I have the 4TB version and speed is not an issue at USB 2.0.

There's no reason why you couldn't, however the unit is quite large. Depending on your application, you may be better off with a nanostation for this access point.

If you can, try a different flash drive and/or using the flash drive in another port to make sure it's not the problem. Do as other answers say, check that your connection to the motherboard is good and possibly check drivers. If the flash drive works elsewhere then reformatting it probably wont help, but it doesn't hurt to try. Otherwise, sounds like a bad unit. I transfer large files all the time with no issue.

This been formated in FAT32, so 4gb is a maximum to transfer for 1 file. But you can still change its type to NTFS then everything will be OK.

No. The motherboard header you are plugging into is USB 2.0 then that will cap you transfer speed.

Not 100 percent sure but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to get full capacity

Yes you can. In fact it's incredibly easy. Here's a video showing you how. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyUfs788cJk Just as an fyi, the max is 2gbs.

I have simply transferred files via USB. I have not done anything else that would be higher end.

Get one with at least a 30mb/s or higher transfer rate. I've used a 32gig with a 30mb/s nonstop until the battery ran out in freezing conditions and not had a single issue.
