My guess this isn't a XBMC issue, but people here might have insight.
I have a Rapberry Pi running Xbian and XBMC 11
I wasn't really happy about my setup as I had the router provided by the ISP and its wireless couldn't reach the whole house. I also wanted to move the NAS box downstairs where the fiber optic cable came into the house along with the router.
So I bought a new router. ASUS RT-N56U. To it is connected the NAS box Seagate BlackArmor 400 and then a Cat5e cable up to the living room where my Pi with XBMC is.
Now when I play a 1080p movie I have easily played before it has to constantly Buffer. I can't see that there is anything heavy going on in the network.
I had turned on QoS on the router but promptly turned it off and stopped playing on the Ps4 but still it is very slow. I'm thinking it is some setting in the router that is causing this. One other thing I changed was that I utilized both LAN ports on my NAS box (I was thinking I would use one to download into it and the other to stream from) however in my list of network devices each port seems to come in twice. So each MAC address gets applied to each IP number once.
Anyone have any insight in what might be going on here?
EDIT:
I found someone else who seems to have had the same problem.

I guess I will try NFS and see if its better, but not happy if the ASUS is just worse then the other one.
