Re: Networking
if your laptops are both connected via wireless, any file transfers are going to be slow between them unless all the wireless gear was purchased in the last few years (dual band, 802.11n or 802.11ac). with older hardware, only one wireless connection can be "talking" at a time, and with two laptops ...
