I have had a MOCA system for over 5 years. It was great because I was finally able to stream 1080p to my kodi boxes and now FireTV and Shield.
However I just bought a 4k TV and have been trying to play 4k UHD files that are 45-60GB in size. I get buffering issues both on the FireTV and Shield hardwired. The Shield seems to play it better.
I then switched to 5ghz Wifi on my Asus AC68 router and play the files on both the Shield and the 4k Firestick (I have the ethernet adapter). The Shield buffers a lot less and is watchable except for scenes where there is a lot of movement (ie rain, fast running, etc). The 4k Firestick buffers a lot more.
My setup is Asus AC68u router to Netgear MCA1001 to 2 other Netgear MCA 1001 to 5 port gigabit switch in a bedroom and family room.
My MOCA is v1. I went to bestbuy to get some ActionTec bonded 2.0 MOCA to see if it made any difference. I still get buffering with the ActionTec.
Should MOCA v1.0 be able to handle a 4k stream?
What could be causing all these buffering issues?
THanks.
