Interruption while streaming from comcast, 200mb

I am streaming from my home comcast network at another location. This location has a R7000 that comcast says is this issue with intermittent interupted streaming. How can I fix this issue?

  • wow this was a lot of potentials with minimal info. 

    So you're trying to stream from your home to another location? is that correct?

    What is your setup at home: 

    1. Router and firmware

    2. modem

    3. What speeds do you pay for upload and download

    4. What speeds do you actual get hardwired in?

    5. Is the device you're streaming off wired/wireless?

     

    At the place you're streaming to:

    1. modem

    2. router R7000, firmware? 

    3. speeds paid for upload/download
    4. Actual hardwired speeds

    5. device streaming to wired/wireless? 

     

    See where I'm going with this? There's a ton a variables that can influence the chain and you didn't give much of anything to go off. another thing to keep in mind is most people only post their download speed. but when you're streaming off 1 location, you also need the upload. Its usually a fraction of the download. So if you're trying to stream a 1080p show off an upload speed of only 5mbps, you're going to struggle.
