Q: File Sharing is slower than expected (possibly) caused by smb version

Hi, I'm currently using a smb shared disk named 'WD' from my router, and the expected speed is above 60Mb/s tested by another PC.

But my macbook seems to be clamped by some limitation to a relatively constant of 27Mb/s.

When I ran:

$ smbutil statshares -m /Volumes/WD

I get:

================================================================================ ==================

SHARE                         ATTRIBUTE TYPE                VALUE

================================================================================ ==================

WD                           

                              SERVER_NAME                   192.168.0.1

                              USER_ID                       501

                              SMB_NEGOTIATE                 AUTO_NEGOTIATE

                              SMB_VERSION                   SMB_1

                              SMB_SHARE_TYPE                UNKNOWN

                              EXTENDED_SECURITY_SUPPORTED   TRUE

                              UNIX_SUPPORT                  TRUE

                              LARGE_FILE_SUPPORTED          TRUE

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------

Seems the issue is the running version of smb being "SMB_1".

So how do I change the runing version of smb?

Thanks.

PS: I searched for several answers, they all referred to delete the "~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf " 's "smb_neg=smb1_only" flag

while in my mac this file don't exist.
