    How to improve streaming multiple devices simultaneously

    Interesting, I just realized that my default DNS on the network for DHCP clients is OpenDNS which I use as a basic porn filter for the kids on our home network. I best if I change that to Google DNS my buffering will go away for just the reason you mentioned. I may just be getting a bad result...

    NAT routers exposing real source port of device behind NAT

    Sorry if I wasn't clear.. I am the service provider, there is no issue with our routers where the SIP servers/gateways are. I am only trying to trouble shoot the customer end, they do NOT have a SIP server or gateway there, just a phone. Reading the rest of your post now :-)

    Where would I change the DNS cache time min? I just use Google's DNS on the network, I guess my pfSense could be caching DNS but haven't looked. I understand the TTL on domains I host the DNS for but not sure what you are suggesting here.

    NAT routers exposing real source port of device behind NAT

    How to improve streaming multiple devices simultaneously

    Thanks everyone for your help. At this point I have to conclude that Roku + HBO Go + Peak Viewing Hours is just not as smooth of an experience as it once was. In fact, it's pretty much unusable for me during primetime hours 7-11pm central. I don't know the exact hours but that's a rough guess. I...

    How to improve streaming multiple devices simultaneously

    It turns out it's only an issue with HBO Go and only in the evening. Same issues are not present with other streaming services such as Netflix. I am certain I was not using the 8mb connection. I was watching the graphs live and nothing at all was hitting my 8mb. Anyhow, I also learned that if...

    How to improve streaming multiple devices simultaneously

    I have over the years encouraged my family members to embrace streaming on our Roku devices. We now have 5 in the house and many evenings there are 3 or more going at a time on Netflix, Hulu or HBO Go. I have two WAN links plugged into my PfSense box, using the 300 meg Timewarner as the...
