Transfer speeds on Ultra 4
Hello, I am new to the forum and have just bought a Ultra 4. I was expecting this to be incredibly fast on my network but when accessing media from my HTPC it is very laggy. I thought I would check my...
Just a quick update. After a little more research I think I may have found a convenient solution.
The plan is to get a gigabit switch (Netgear GS108) which will be connected to the homehub, the ReadyNAS will connect to the switch via CAT6 with another CAT6 cable connected to a set of 500mbps Powerline adapters (Billion BiPAC P108) as my current powerline only supports 200mbps. I hope this will give enough throughput to my room above my office so HD streams flawlessly. For the time being I will use another router as a hub in my room as several devices need the internet, this will later be upgraded to another gigabit switch.
Does the above sound feasible? Didn't realise I would have to purchase so much additional kit on top of the already expensive Ultra 4 but seeing as I am this far I might as well spend out to have a perfect system.
