Re: Poor network performance.

11 MegaBYTES transfer is roughly equivalent to 90 MegaBITS per second.

 

If your LAN is 100 Megabits, then you're using 100% of what you can do.

 

You need to upgrade your network if you want to copy files around faster.

 

But at any rate, 100 megabits/sec is probably good enough to stream most types of content to your HDTV.

Re: Poor network performance.

Actually the replacement router that I have has gigabit but my cables (built-in inside drywall) are only Cat5E so that maybe why I don't see any speed advantage.

 

Well, what can you do.  Technology matches on.  Had the house wired prior to gigabit getting popular.

 

Thank you for the quick response.

Re: Poor network performance.

Cat5E is fine for gig.
