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 suggest using NAStester on the vista laptop (http://www.808.dk/?code-csharp-nas-performance)
Streaming BluRay requires about 60 mb/s, a typical HD MKV rip takes about 10 mb/s.
Be careful not to confuse mb/s (megabits per second) with MB/s (megabytes per second). Also, it is impossible to carry a 5 MB packet on ethernet.
Your player is only capable of 100 mb/s (the ethernet support is fast ethernet). One common issue with fast ethernet players is that they sometimes need 802.1x flow control in the router/switch to prevent packet loss. I'm not sure if your router supports 802.1x or not. If it doesn't you can put a gigabit switch that does support 802.1x behind the router, and connect everything to the switch. (Check the spec sheet on the switch, and make sure it supports 802.1x).
