The issue with DNS relays on cheap domestic routers is that they ARE cheap domestic routers made with low quality components and the DNS relay (software) frequently fails. This is an area where you really do get what you pay for. Some ISPs do have incredibly poor (slow) DNS servers and IIRC studies have showed that a slow DNS service is the biggest factor that influences internet "speed" i.e. it doesn't matter how much bandwidth you have if you use slow DNS servers you get slow internet. *Pi3 with piCoreplayer music on QNAP TS419p via NFS* iThingys/iPeng/Tablets/Jogglers *Living Room* - Joggler & SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 - > Celestion Ditton F20s *Office* - Pi -> Sony TA FE320 -> Celestion F10s / Pi & SB3 -> Onkyo CRN 755 -> Wharfedale Modus Cubes *Dining Room* -> SB Boom *Kitchen* -> UE Radio (upgraded to SB Radio) *Bedroom (Bedside)* - SB Touch -> Topping TP21 -> AKG Headphones ------------------------------------------------------------------------ d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108013 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
