I have a small network setup in my home.
I have a NAS box (Seagate BlackArmor 400) which I stream from to my Raspberry Pi setup with Xbian XBMC. This all works quite well.
Problem was I had the router and NAS in my living room while the fiber optic cable modem comes into my garage on the floor below. I had bad wirless signal there where I had a dedicated computer room.
I decided I would buy a new and better router (the other was a BEWAN vox supplied by my ISP) and move the NAS box down while utilizing my cat cable to connect my Pi (which I'm planning to upgrade to a BRIX).
I bought a Asus RT - N56U as my router, kept the BEWAN as a switch + wireless access point upstairs.
Everything is looking great, my PS4 on the lower floor gets much better reception through wireless.
Problem starts when I'm streaming a 1080p movie to XBMC, a movie that worked fine before. Suddenly it has to buffer each 1 or 2 minutes. It's like the new router is worse than the other one. I tried turning of QoS I hadn't set up properly anyways and also bypass the BEWAN completely but no dice.
I'm hoping this is just a configuration problem because the new one of course has more options but I do not know what I should be looking for.
One other thing I can thing of that is connected differently is the NAS box which has 2 LAN ports. I tried connecting to them both now with the idea to utilize one as the ip I stream from and the other as the ip I upload into the NAS box
However in the router GUI client list it appears both times with same IP (seperate MAC) but I'm guessign this is just a presentation issue because both have the same name and both ips work from browser.
Does anyone have a clue what the problem could be? Is my new router worse then the ISP provided one?
Is there something I could be configuring wrong?
