Hi all,
I have noticed that I'm only getting a max of 60 mbits download from my XE9005 both on WIFI (which is not working post Oreo Update) and Ethernet port. This is insufficient speed for streaming lossless 4K MKV which, as listed by Plex, requires around 130 mbit of through put.
How do I go about this? Will a USB to gigabit ethernet adapter plugged into my XE9005 through USB 3.0 solve this or will the speed still be limited by the processing / CPU power of the TV?
Alternatively, do I get an Nvidia Shield or similar (wired to my router / local LAN? will an external player have enough juice to seamlessly stream 4K files? Also, my material is stored on NAS, hence, the ability to connect player to NAS and my Plex account and library is paramount.
I have a set of power lines installed and as per utility app, the "sending" device is putting through anywhere from 130-27x mbits. I have yet to test the actual throughput on the receiving end though.
Also, if the receiving unit is not putting through enough speed, I might need a new router as I've run out of LAN ports (DUH). Do I get a new rouiter or just a switch? Current router is Asus RT-AC68U.
Thanks,
