Slow file transfer on home network

So I have a .jpg file of about 2 Mb open on Computer A.  I save it to Computer B and it takes like 60 seconds.

How would I start to troubleshoot where the problem is?

The computer doing the saving has an Ethernet(powerline adapter) connection to the router that is connected to the Access Point through a regular Ethernet cord.  And it also has a wireless connection to the Access Point.  The computer being saved to has an Ethernet connection to the Access Point.  Both are part of the same homegroup.

Interesting...
Disabled Ethernet so just using wireless, pings were 796ms,715,ms,333ms
Disabled Wireless so just using Ethernet, pings were 2ms,5,ms,3ms

I guess my computer doesn't want to take the path of least resistance when offered a choice.
