I want to transfer the whole content of a partition from a computer tu another. The answers to this question apparently solve the problem exactly as I wanted. But the result is too slow.

What I did:

I connected both computers to my home wifi, both have ip 192.168.... fine.

I started ssh service on one comuter,

from the other I lunched the command

rsync -av -e ssh 192.168.2.110:./ .

but it goes extremely slow (1MiB per second according to network monitor)

There could be many reasons for that.

How should I proceed to discover the reason and fix the problem?

If it is a wifi problem, how can I connect the computer so that they comunicate quickly? If it is a rsync problem, should I use other programs, or is there some known trick?

Update: via ethernet cable the speed is 10 times faster. I did not succeded to have any fast wifi transfer (basically tryed to avoid routers via an adhoc connection) . Also, I didn't mount target partition with some particular option, and if I check with "mount" the only options I see are

(rw,relatime)
