Hi guys, hoping someone could shed a little light on a couple of things.

I usually get 56 down/12 up(Homehub 4), I installed a D6400 late yesterday and it immediately synced up at 20/2.6 and has been there ever since. I rather expected it to be closing in on the previous speed by now but it's not moved(Stats below).

It's also INCREDIBLY slow with a USB HD attached, I wanted to use it as a media server/NAS purely to have a single point to watch videos from but they all stutter and copying a file to the local PC I'm getting <100kbs

Thanks

I have no idea why your seeing that sync drop but I would return to the HH4 for a bit to check that the change is the modem and not a line change. Allow at least 30 mins between switching one device out and the other in so to avoid the DLM thinking you have a loss of sync issue. I can't comment on the USB HD attached except to say that slow USB speeds are certainly an issue with some other routers.

As far as using it as a NAS is concerned I have never contemplated this as often the router has only enough CPU to keep up with line speeds etc. I would always go for a separate NAS box and make sure I have decent lan and wi-fi speeds. Using USB on a router might be OK to connect say a back up HDD for occasional use but as a media server I very much doubt it would be able to perform. Also if you want a DLNA capable media server a router is never going to provide this.

I was about to put it back earlier and the line went down so until that gets fixed I've no idea if it was on the way out already. Will report back
Oh one thing though, after another reboot the media server and drive sharing is now pretty nippy, playing back 1080p without an issue
