ReadyNAS NV+ v2 WNDR4500 2 x Powerline AV500 Tvix N1 Network Player Hello. My first post at the ReadyNAS forum (previous Stora owner!). I hope someone can help me; I'm getting really frustra...
Hi StephenB,
Thanks for the help. I've just checked all the cables and they're either Cat6 or 5e. The only 5e cable runs from the modem to the Powerline.
The network player is the Tvix N1; it's basic, but capable of full HD playback of LOADS of file types, and capable of passing through the audio for decoding by my av amp. ( http://www.tvixbox.net/?module=menu&sub_module=display_content&id=7 )
I could put my old Vista laptop at the player's end. Is LANSpeedTest ( http://www.totusoft.com/lanspeed1.html ) suitable? I use this at the moment on my PC to check transfer speeds from time to time. If you know this software, perhaps you could suggest a suitable packet size and number of packets. I currently use 10 x 5MB packets sent/received successively.
Thanks,
Stephen
