Hi all,
New to the forums. I have been reading for a few months now.
I recently replaced my old RT-68U with the new RT-86U. Running current ASUS firmware. Great wireless signal strength and range for what I need it for.
On 3 floors of my house, I have hard wired connections to stream Blu Ray rips uncompressed to 3 WDTV media players and my Oppo 103 Universal player. My main PC is also connected hard wired as well as a couple of TV's, XBOX 360 & ONE and all 3 Blu Ray players. Also, I have my LTS LTD8508K-ST security camera DVR plugged directly into the router. Everything worked great with the old one, which is now sold. I have a few good quality gigabit switches throughout the house.
The only wireless devices I have are a couple of cell phones, My Q garage door opener, printer and a laptop.
Now, the problem I am having is that my Blu Ray rips will no longer play flawlessly on the 3 WDTV media players. They play fine on the Oppo 103. There is allot of buffering, pausing, starting and stopping. After about 5 days of making sure all the settings were correct, reset to factory, etc, I have concluded that once the LTS DVR is plugged into the router, the streaming issues begin. If the DVR is unplugged from the router or powered down, there are no issues. Smaller ripped files under 10-15 GBs play fine on all devices at all times. Just having a problem with the large Blu Ray rips at all times no matter if other devices are online or not.
I have tried to turn bandwidth limiter on to limit the bandwidth of the DVR and still the same issue. QoS on or off, no difference. I have reset the router, swapped out ethernet cables and tried plugging the router in to a separate plug.
I know this sounds like a streaming issue but I do think it has something to do with the 86U as these problems didn't exist with my old one with the exact same setup. Any help on this would be great. Many thanks.
