R8500 - Does it support 4K streaming
I just bought the new R8500. Are there any known issues with it? With 20 attached devices and two 4K television I wanted to make sure it didn't bog down like my other one.
Very high quality 4K streaming shouldn’t need more than about 40Mbps, so even over a single gigabit link there should be plenty of capacity there, I’m not sure you would see any benefit at all from an aggregated switch connection.
The switch must supports 802.3ad LACP.
You also need to turn it on in the NAS or switch. At least I did on my Synology DS-1511+ and it works well when I am away from home. It made a great difference when saving to the NAS from afar. This router does a great job so far. Owned it a week so far.
