Hi guys,
I registered here to learn more about wireless networking as I continue to build my own at home...So please bear with my lack of knowledge and for making another thread about the Asus router.
Anyhow, I noticed that anything plugged in the gigabit ports on the router have terrible streaming performance. I first noticed when I plugged my xbox 360 into it and tried to stream Hulu plus. When using a cat6 cable directly to the router the videos seem to constantly break up and I even get messages saying the service (hulu plus) isn't available. I was previously using a Netgear router and didn't have any problems at all. However, if I disconnect the xbox and join it to the 2.4ghz band wireless network, it is smooth as butter.
I tested this with my laptop as well and received similar results. So I guess my question more or less is this: Is there anything I possibly may be overlooking in the router setup that could be the problem? Or does it sound like it may be more of a hardware issue?
Just to clarify, I do have the latest firmware as well.
