I have recently purchased a ReadyNas Duo NAS. It is connected directly to the router via an network cable.
The performance is slightly sluggish, and if I stream HD content around the house it's a tad slow. Not awful but it will stutter for a second or two. So I am looking for ways to boost the performance of the network.
Am I right in thinking a newer router will help boost performance? At the moment my router is quite old, 54mps wireless g router. Should I look at Wireless N and something capable of transferring more content around the house?
What specs should I be taking into account, and should a get one with Gigabit ports? If I connected the ReadyNAS via a Gigabit port what performance advantages would take bring?
Cheers!
I'm confused how RAM could cause slowness... Once the OS swaps what isn't needed, most of the video should play just fine. – TheLQ – 2010-08-29T15:11:04.593
I'm not exactly sure all of the dynamics of it, but I do know that leaving the video player on and streaming suck up a lot of memory, and if it's left on, then that memory doesn't always get cleared. – James Mertz – 2010-08-29T15:25:53.060
