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...
An ethernet cable is definitely better than powerline or wireless - with the twix you can use cat 5, but it'd be best to use cat 5e or cat 6 (in case a future players are gigabit).
The spec for length is 100 meters - would you be exceeding that? You can get flat cable which is less obtrusive (and can run under carpet) - if that shortens the distance you might look into it.
I have seen similar posts on powerline here. As I mentioned, it is a bit hit-or-miss - depending on wiring, number of power panels (and distance to them), and the circuit load. The most recent units I tested did work with HD streaming in my home, but there were some circuit pairs that were similar to yours in performance. They weren't the ones that were nearest my players, but of course they could have been.
