Problem: I replaced my Windows 10 computer with a new Windows 11 one. On W10 I usually see a throughput to my Synology NAS of close to 1 Gbit/sec. On W11 the throughput was ways slower: I only got ~300 Mbit/sec when copying to/from the Samba Share.

Commander, Leader, Manager – What’s your Style?

How to fix: Android Connected, No Internet with Pi-Hole
