RN Duo RND2000-bad performance streaming video from network
Hi all, I have a strange problem when streaming videos with my WD TV LIVE from the ReadyNas Duo. When i stream videos from the WD i have 2 options: -Network shares -Media serves If I go to Netw...
Fixed by myself.

Solution: set the Switch port on the GB switch where the ReadyNAS resides to 100Mbit autonegotiation.
No stutter anymore, 1080p movies with 14GB and DTS audio are playing as smooth as from the DLNA server on the NAS AND(!!!) I finally have my subs back :D
Negative impact: due to the missing option to set the switchport on my AVM fritzbox 7390 to autonegotiation 100/1000 I have to switch to GBit manually if i want to transfer large files with satisfying speed. AVM gets a ticket for this.
