Poor streaming connection/speed
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...
I've just carried out a LAN Speed Test sending a 5MB packet 10 times to a laptop (in place of the network player) from my PC (connected to the router directly - same as the ReadyNAS).
With the software firewalls de-activated on both machines, I'm getting averages of 34 Mbps writing TO the laptop ie. same direction as traffic from the ReadyNAS to the player (and 56 reading from the laptop). I don't claim to understand it all, but I seem to recall 10Mbps being required for streaming HD video with HD audio? Hopefully this means that the network itself is OK, and that it must be something to do with the ReadyNAS?
Interestingly, If I try and download a large file (15GB) from the ReadyNAS to the laptop, I'm getting a transfer rate of 4.1Mbps (according to Windows file transfer).
