[Q] getting low transfer speeds with wifi tethered defy

[chaitanya.shende]

Yesterday, I wanted to move some large files (> 2G) from my laptop (running Fedora 16) to my defy (running CM7.2). So I started wifi tethering (with data disabled) on defy and connected my laptop to it. With droidSSHd running on the device, I tried to transfer the files with scp. To my surprise, the transfer speeds I got were around 1.5-2MB/s !! The connection speed was showing as 54Mbps though...

Is this the max speed possible with this kind of connection? or is there any tweak/trick available to get better speeds?

PS: Tweaking net.tcp.*, wifi channel, MTU etc did not help much.

For me also its pretty much the same!
