Please review and let us know if you are able to set up SPC features...
Hopefully this is the right place to reply.
I have installed this version now and the DNS issues seem to be gone, the issue I am seeing now is when streaming video from my server (windows 10 from a SMB share to kodi) I am seeing random freezes and hangs in playback while the cache fills up again from time to time, and kodi reporting that the connection is too slow.
(I was not experiencing this issue with the stock firmware)
Wireless seems ok, and I havent had any issues with internet streaming services yet, ie netflix and amazon seem ok.
The RBS750 satellites are hard wired to the RBR750 router, and all other wireless devices connected to them seem fine so far.
I do have other ethernet devices connected to them, so I will do some more testing tomorrow.
Initially thoughts are positive as the DNS issues appear to have gone and browsing speed seems snapier so far.
I will report back once I have clarified a few more things and perhaps run a wireshark to see if i can find out where the slowdown/latency is occuring.
Keep us posted...
I did some more testing this morning and there is definitely some sort of congestion on the wired LAN side between the router and the satellite, I haven't had time to do a wirehsark yet (at work here) but I have done some arbitrary streaming and file copying tests, and RDP from my laptop to the server is freezing intermittently.
It's probably worth mentioning I have a teamed dual gig NIC in the win 10 box that serves the files, and a 8 port dumb switch connected to the satellite.
My next test will be to use a single NIC and test, then remove the switch and test, but i'll restate that the wired LAN side was working fine with the stock firmware.
I'll do a wireshark at some point and post my findings.
What is the brand and model# of the switch being used in the configuration?
Where is this switch placed and located at in the configuration?
