A user complains that the file transfer speeds in the network are slower than expected. After extensive troubleshooting, you have concluded that there are no hardware failures, no software misconfigurations, and no network congestion that could be affecting the performance. What should you investigate NEXT to determine the cause of the reduced speed?
Check the types of cables used and verify if they meet the required specifications for the expected speed.
Reduce the number of hop counts between the user's workstation and the file server.
Lower the network encryption standards to reduce overhead.
Update the network adapter drivers on the user's workstation to the latest version.
