Hi,
I've run NASTester a few times from the player end of the network and it is only reading at 4.2 MB/sec (writing to the NAS is at 7.6 MB/sec)?! Am I right in thinking that this is way too slow... despite 'upgrading' to the newer Netgear AV500 Powerlines, would it make more sense to go wireless?
I cannot find any information regarding 802.3x standards from Netgear but the N900/WNDR4500 is from their 'Ultimate Performance' range so I assume it should ne fine.
I'm getting a bit frustrated... I've invested in a NAS, a Router and two Powerline products all from Netgear, and they are all advertised as supporting the sending of multiple HD streams... I'm only after one! I can't help thinking that there's something 'obvious' or a setting somewhere that I've overlooked as plenty of folk seem to run HD with older/lower quality gear than mine.
I can't see any options on the router to enable 100mbit/s networking. I'll have another search through the www later tonight or tomorrow.
