Hi, I recently got a devolo high speed dlan thing to use instead of wireless since i moved my server and the wireless wasnt as convenient.
Very easy setup and thought it was all great, tested some music and all seemed fine. But when i later listened to music for a bit longer the problems started. My setup is slimserver box connected to my router using the dlan connection, and the SB3 is a wired connection to the router. The devolo 'informer' util shows 80+ Mbps most of the time, but after a few minutes of playing flac's (which need about 1Mbps) informer says the bandwidth has dropped to 1Mbps (i dont think it displays less than this), and shortly after the SB3 buffer is empty and the music cuts in and out. If i stop this, after a while informer says its ok again, and i can play music again.. for a few minutes before it happens again. What is odd though is that i can copy files fine and the NetTest plugin for SB3 can run at 1Mbps (or more) for as long as i want to test for. If I play music, wait for the problem to occur then start the NetTest plugin at 1Mbps it will show about 50% - but I cannot get the problem to occur any other way than SB3 playing flacs (mp3's are fine, but use less bandwidth of course) What could slimserver/SB3 be doing that affects the dlan bandwidth? dlan support response was a set of standard questions about noisy mains, other equipment, using wall sockets not extentions etc - none of which address the fact that NetTest (or anything else i tried) works fine. Any ideas? -- martintyler ------------------------------------------------------------------------ martintyler's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2385 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22903 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
