Poor streaming connection/speed

Hi,

Thanks for sticking with me! There are no surge protectors 'in front' of the Powerline devices; both are plugged straight onto the wall sockets. They are the XAVB5601 (adertised as ideal for 'multiple HD/3D videos' :roll: )

The network player doesn't have a wireless adapter, but I may try running some tests with the laptop's built-in adapter to see what the wireless signal is like, but maybe I should be looking at running a physical cable rather than trusting the Powerlines... it would be l-o-n-g (in order to be out of sight) but presumably better throughput than I'm getting at the moment? I had thought about putting the ReadyNAS at the network player end, but the thought of such awful transfer speeds when I want to transfer files from my PC (at the other end of the Powerlines) doesn't appeal!

I cannot see any options to alter the network interface speed in the ReadyNAS Radiator... does NV+ v2 have this option?

I'm starting to wonder if I may have been mislead by marketing hyperbole, but it's odd that the forums are not full of others with this sort of problem... I remember reading (before purchasing) of others streaming 2 or more HD streams in their houses with the same kit as mine.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Stephen
