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.
For the 2 Ethernet aggregate ports. I don't have an NAS storage. It said to enable for a network switch as well. I have 2 switches on my network. Should I enable those ports and connect the switches? Or does it have to be a certain type of switch?
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.
