File transfer between Stellarmate and Windows machine extremely slow

I have a Raspberry 4 running Stellarmate OS. It is connected to my home wifi, it is about 10 feet from the router. I have a computer running Windows connected via ethernet to the same network. I started Indi server on the Pi and am using KStars/Ekos from the windows machine.

The file transfer is extremely slow. A 12 Mb file takes 20-22 seconds to download! I have tried switching to 5Ghz and 2.5 Ghz but to no avail. Surprisingly, even the browser opened on the Pi and checking internet speed using speedtest gives a measly 40 Mbps (I get 300 Mbps on my laptop over wifi). I understand the Pi is slower, but did not think it will be that slow.

What are my options? Are there settings I can play with?

The Pi is outside and I'm inside, so running an ethernet cable is not really an option.

Hello,

Wired connections is limited to 70% the capacity of the wire. So is Wireless. Increasing the buffer size an incremental amount should buffer the time better.
