Streaming Blu-Ray video over Orbi (hardwired) - Errors

Hey all,   I have an RBK50 system with router + 1 sattellite.  These are connected via a cat 5e hardwired cable across my house.    On the main router I have a Synology NAS device plugged in with...

Thanks.

 

This was all working fine before my switch to an Orbi based system, so if its too much for Orbi, I guess I'm abandoning ship.

let us know how it does after reset.

 

I have a similar set up however my streaming device and NAS are on the LAN side connect via Gb switch and not between the Satellite and router. I do have a wireless bridge connected to the Satellite which services a DISH Joey. Streams video fine there however the bandwidth I presume is way smaller than raw BD data.

    I did a "factory reset" via the web UI and still experienced issues. However, reading more, perhaps I need to do a paper-clip resent on the satellite and router seperately? 

     

    For fun I unplugged the backhaul cable from the satellite and plugged it directly into the Blu-Ray player (so essentially the Blu_Ray and NAS are both hard-wired into the router).  1+ hour of movie and no pauses yet.

      You may try a paper clip reset on both again and see.

      So you connect the router directly to the player and it is streaming? Or you connected a cable from the satellite to the player and is streaming?

       

      If your connected from the router, then this should work well. Possbile issue with the Satellite and it's back haul traffic handling. I can't help you tests this as I don't have a player to stream BD files with my satellite. It's just streaming DISH Joey traffic. However I presume this bandwidth may not be as big as MKV files.

       

      QoS isn't needed for LAN side traffic. QoS is upstream LAN to WAN feature.

        Did a paperclip reset of both the router and satellite tonight, both running the 2.1.3.4 firmware.  5 minutes into watching a streaming MKV I got another 10-15 second pause.

         

        So in summary:

         

        NAS<->Router<->Satellite<->Player - random pauses

        NAS<->Router<->Player - works fine

         

        Everything wired with Cat6 cabling.

         

        Is there a log I can check somewhere to determine what's happening on the network at the times of the pauses?

         

        I'm about to give up on this thing.
