To prepare for getting a Sinology NAS, I have installed Tailsacale on my MacBook Pro and iMac. They easily connect, but I’m getting Blackmagic transfer speeds of 1.2MB/s. Finder and application interaction with the serving computer is laggy and unusable.
- Note that this performance is the same connecting using the usual File Sharing smb connection on my Macs.
- I have 5GHz wifi
On his YouTube video, Will was getting speeds of around 300MB/s I believe. Help!
That tends to rule out Tailscale as the issue. It seems that you have a fundamental connection problem. I would start by swapping cables and switches, as necessary.
Thanks – I will start problem solving. I don’t have a lot of hope, however: All my computers have internet connectivity speeds of 50 megabits per second and the computer I’m using for Tailscale works perfectly fine as a Plex server. This may be a limitation of the way Mac throttles SMB?
Hopefully you mean 50 MBps per second. 50 Mbps would explain your slow speeds.
Yes, correct. Sorry for the confusion.
