Are you certain? I see that it's linked at 1Gbps but the download shows 8.47MB/sec which could be achieved with a 100Mbps connection. It's possible there is something else restricting the transfer speed but I do not see it transferring at anything exceeding 100Mbps. Or am I missing something?
That was the start of the transfer. I'm also not expecting that full speed.

Right now there is no direct cable connection to the garage. I bought a pair of Gigabit Powerline adapters which use my home's electrical wiring for connecting. The Mini is reporting a 1GB connection because it's connected to the Gigabit router, which is connected to the Powerline device.

I cannot and do not expect full Gigabit speeds because of this, but I did transfer a 5.5GB file in 10 minutes - so I'm happy with what I'm am getting.
