I have a dlink 321 nas and trying to feed movies to  a netgear neo550 which uses a 10/100 ethernet connection


Router is a buffalo WG300NH ZR-HP-with dd-wrt flash

I connect the neo550 directly to tne nas and get 80Mb and everthing plays fine.

I plug both of these into the buffalo router and my thruput drops to 17Mb and stuttering and stopping on play.

WT  this doesn't make any since what is going on.

So I plug in a trendnet s8 gigabit switch to the buffalo and plug both the nas and the neo550 to it.

thruput is 22Mb.

 

Finally I try one last thing I get an old linksys 10/100 switch and plug both devices into it and get 70Mb.

 

Why am I getting major slowdowns plugging these devices into the buffalo?

Both of them can use smb or nfs so I go into the router and say ok its set for smb lets try nfs.

 

testing on all the above thru the buffalo  smb is giving me 17-20Mb and nfs is giving me 28-33Mb

still too slow to play a movie.

 

again what can I do with the router to get a decent thruput???

 

I got an email from one person that said he tried a netgear managed switch and he is now getting 70+Mb thrput.

ok what does a managed switch do in this situation??

 

thanks for any help and ideas
