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...
OK, so with regards to each issue;
(a) Looks like I'll need to hardwire to stand any chance of Bluray playback with any player (at least of files with similar requirements to the file I'm testing with). I don't see the point of trying other Powerline devices when this one should deliver what I need. The plugs are on the same circuit, and it's a small house (only about 10 outlets on the ground floor) so I'm a bit disappointed... The reviews say; "we saw sustained transfers of 133.2Mbit/s - easily the fastest powerline speeds we've seen, and faster than a 10/100 Ethernet connection. The worst review I could find listed average 84.8Mbit/s... ho hum!
(b) I would like to explore this issue as it does seem slow. The Info screen of the ReadyNAS System shows all green lights. The SMART reports show no problems with any drive. Capacity; 799GB free of 5.4TB (using X-RAID2 - 4 x 2TB 'approved' Western Digital Red WD20EFRX-68AX9N0 drives).
(c) After re-ripping the file in question from Bluray to m2ts and putting it, and the original mkv on the laptop, I spent a couple of hours this afternoon trying to get my tvix to 'see' the laptop but without any success (doubtless it's me doing something wrong, or the tvix doesn't like to be connected directly to the laptop via LAN?)
