Slow internet connections are becoming increasingly common.

They both work with gigabit speeds since they’re linked through a gigabit switch. The TP-Link Switch should recognize them as gigabit-compatible, and the indicator lights up. The devices connected to the router are the modem and the switch itself.
I verify that I share the same 1.0Gbps speed across both Windows 10 and Windows 7. I’m currently at work, so I can’t share the same picture. However, here’s my home network layout.
I'm moving a file from a Windows 10 device to a Windows 7 system. Are you referring to Server Message Block? I'm not certain if it's being used. I've already tried the file sharing feature in Windows. My computers are part of the same work group, and folders are visible when using Network View. I can transfer files between them. The main issue is that the file transfer is extremely slow.
Run iPerf or JPerf to measure your real speed. If it completes quickly, the issue likely lies with Windows file sharing, not your network connection.
I was ready to test iPerf, but the issue disappeared. A Windows update prompted me to restart the computer for updates. Once restarted, everything functioned properly.
Thank you all for your time and attention. I’ll remember your advice for future use. It seems the latest Windows update resolved my issue.
It might be due to a Windows Update restricting download speed, something I haven't experienced personally but others report.
How many files are there? Are they stored on an SSD or HDD? A large number of smaller files will move at that speed—check by moving a single big file and compare the results.
