Hi chunkers
Others may disagree but you have a small network, and it does not look bad from your pic
I would not move your htpc yet, rather I would look at what devices are having the issue streaming e.g. Are the devices on wifi - which I'm thinking they are
Thanks for your reply, great to get some advice and glad it looks OK. I
assumed the problem was network related because I see the buffering on both wireless and wired clients, I have some suspicions about my switch which is an unmanaged
TP-Link TL-SG1008D (mine is version 1, version 7 now on sale) - it is a gigabit switch and does appear to be working correctly. Regarding your questions
Do you use vlansNo
Is your htpc capable of nic bonding, but you need to check your switch as well, or you could end up with a stormThe server is running MediaPortal on Windows 10 and currently has a single NIC (motherboard), I could obviously install more NIC's
Is your switch a managed switch - if so, what level switch - I guess level 2It's one of these
TP-Link TL=SG1008D switches, unmanaged (Version 1)
Have you run any speed tests on networkNo, but I could easily do this, I am getting green lights on my main router which suggests it sees a Gigabit connection but I don't have any data for downstream
If wifi devices are having the issue - which wap are they mainly connected too - if power plug wap - hardwire itNot consistent really, all three, the reason I have three WAP's is to get coverage in all parts of the house
Are all devices on same node or have you separated themNot really sure what this means
On your loadbalancer, have you set any QoS, and are your settings correct for bonding/loadbalance/DNS etcMy loadbalancer is only managing WAN loads as far as I can see. My router has lots of diagnostics, I just found this, not sure if its any help :
Can you reproduce the slownessIts not really consistent to be honest but I only really notice it when I am watching TV on a client, very occasionally I will get buffering - which seems weird because its all local to my network.
Cheers!
