I'm having an odd problem and was wondering if anyone else has seen this type of behavior with a WNDR4500 router.
I have a NAS and media streamer (Sonos) each wired in to the router. My laptop connects wirelessly. If my laptop is downloading from the internet at any speed above 60Mbps, the media streamer and NAS will have severely degraded performance when communicating together (simply streaming music).
As far as I'm concerned, my wireless internet traffic should have no effect on these two wireless devices communicating with one another. It's as if the router can't keep up with the traffic. Replacing the router with an old Airport Extreme resolves this issue entirely.
I opened a case with Netgear support over two weeks ago and still haven't had a response. Has anyone else seen this type of behavior? I've tried messing with various settings on the router, to no avail.
Not that it should matter, but the Sonos device is 100Mbps while the NAS is 1000Mbps.
