Hello .
A total newbie me, found this forum while searching for router reviews.... yeah, obviously !
Too much stuff, and mostly overwhelming, considering my newbie status.
Still been reading through articles and stuff, and thought i would post my query in here too.
Now, I recently upgraded my old LCD panel, to a new Sony LED, that is Network enabled ( KDL 50W900B ).
My Modem cum router is the TP-Link W8968. It has a USB port and also has a Media Server option.
Filled up a USB with some media, plugged it in, and enabled media server.
Number of connected devices to this modem-router -
Issues faced -
I just recently turned on these wireless capabilities, and did a lot of tinkering to even get the devices to talk to eachother, but now they seem to be unable to hold onto any conversations !
Are all these issues related to a bad router ?
or
Is it something else also that i am doing wrong or not paying attention to ?
A total newbie, so would really help any pointers.
Thanks guys !

Number of connected devices to this modem-router -
- LED Panel
- Desktop X 2 ( One continuously )
- Laptop ( On-Off )
- Android mobiles X 3
- Android Tab
- iPhone
- Wireless printer ( On-off )
Issues faced -
- USB media server, sometimes shows in LED and PC media library and sometimes does not.
- When it shows in the LED, it fails to read the contents. "Unable to connect to server" message.If it does connects, the TV reports no compatible file, where as it is fine when the same drive is connected directly to the panel.
- Poor HD streaming, either from PCs or the mobile devices . Almost negligible. Videos keep on loading and images take 2-10 secs.When the videos do play, they suddenly stop and the TV resumes and then again the video starts.
- TV remote app fails to find the LED panel.
- The printer although in wireless network, is reported as offline by the PC.
- iMediashare or BubblePnP, has same issues. Sometimes recognizes the PC and device media library and sometimes does not. A mere 20Kb image file sometimes takes too much time to be displayed on the LED. Going to he next photo hangs the LED media library .
- The Windows media player sometimes detects the Play to device ( Bravia LED or the BubblePnP ) and sometimes does not, inspite of the panel connected to the wifi network.
