hi all
I've set the router up with my tower pc and a laptop which is connected to my tv.
When i map a drive to the tower and copy files its fast. Connected at 300mbps real world performace is between 10Mb/s-15Mb/s i can see the speed on netstat live utility. So thats good well fast enough to stream media.
The problem is when i stream HD movies to the laptop. The speed is only going at 2Mb/s max compared to the 10+ i get when copying files. Its not fast anough and end up in a complete judder/slowdown situation. The tower has dual boot windows 7/vista and the laptop has windows 7. I also tried vista on the laptop and its still the same.
Tried using a wired connection between the router and the laptop but its the same. File copy goes as fast as the tower hard disk can push it . But when i stream any media it slows down to the point the movie is unwatchable.
This is my 2nd dir-655 the 1st one worked perfectly media streaming but died on me. I have rev A4 with 1.21EU firmware. Settings are at default except the changes to wireless for 300mbps connection.
Tried disabling wish/qos no luck. Its like the router is throttling the streaming media traffic for some reason? any ideas?

I have this same issue with both the DIR-655 and DIR-855 and I was going to post the same query...
And I thought I was the only one having this issue

After an upgrade your wireless channel could have changed.
