1. Diagnosing the Problem Check Network Speed Use iperf3 to measure network throughput between the two Macs. # On Mac B (SMB Server) iperf3 -s # On Mac A (Client) iperf3 -c <Mac B's IP> If the speed is close to 1Gbps, the network is performing as expected. If it’s significantly lower (e.g., below 500 Mbps), there may be a bottleneck in the network hardware or cabling. Check Latency with ping Use ping to measure round-trip time between Mac A and Mac B. ping -c 10 <Mac B's IP> A response time below 1ms is expected. If latency is higher, check for network congestion or interference. Test File Transfer Speed Copy a large file using rsync to measure SMB performance. rsync --progress /Volumes/SharedDrive/testfile.bin ~/Desktop/ A well-performing SMB connection on a 1Gb network should achieve speeds close to 110 MB/s. ...
