Melco Audiophile NAS

[maikeru]

That’s very interesting thank you. I’ve got a static ip for the Melco and will play around with the dhcp settings. Meanwhile another question：

I’ve got a Melco S100 inserted into the system now.

Wall internet to S100

Then S100 out to Melco NAS

but also to a Synology wifi mesh router and an Apple TV

The Apple TV (Ethernet connected) when playing video is atrociously slow now

Before I was using a cheap buffalo switch. And enjoyed super fast and stable video streaming. I live in Tokyo and have some of the world’s fastest internet.

But now I am seeing test download speeds of 12 to 20Mbps (vs measured spreads of seriously up to 50x that previously as I live in Tokyo and pay for enterprise level connectivity)

And now I am seeing massive interruptions in video playback. Super long load times where normally it played immediately; where normally even HD streaming was immediate and smooth all the way through, now I am seeing massive load times and frequent full stops on any video stream.

I am perfectly fine sacrificing speed for audio quality but this seems extreme.

Is my S100 defective ? Or is this intentional for audio quality ?

If intentional would it suit for me to change my set up to:

Wall to the old cheap buffalo switch
Cheap buffalo switch to Apple TV and s100
S100 only to Melco?
