Hey everyone
Been having a real annoying problem. I have been streaming all sorts of content over a wired network for some time now flawlessly. 720p 1080p mkv files all playing fine over my stand alone media players. The last few days I have been getting significant break ups and slow downs even streaming the most basic xvid and divx files. This has been happening on both my Patriot Box Office and even my Xbox Media Center so I know it is something in my network.
My setup is a Westell Router/Modem from verizon, a Patch panel connected to an 8 port switch with Cat 5 running to many rooms in the house, and then I have several switches in different rooms. Would 1 bad switch somewhere in the network have the ability to choke the whole network while streaming? If so is there a good way to isolate the piece of equipment causing the problem? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
