Hi guys,
I've trying all sorts of things, searching the net but couldn't find a question this strange problem.
Ever since my ATV2 was crashed (I don't know why it crashed but it crashed over night) and I could not start the AVT2. I had no choice but to try SeaS0nPass to upload the firmware again. Unfortunately, Seas0nPass uploaded the iOS5 onto it. Anyway, I followed the instructions (from this forum) to install XBMC Eden on the ATV2 with iOS5. Everything was fine for a few days and all of a sudden, everything became so slow, XBMC showing "buffering" so often or it became sluggish and caused audio / video out of sync badly.
I've tried everything I've found on this forum (went to the FAQ, read so many topics....) and I have decided to test the network between my ATV2 to the ReadyNAS NV+. What I have is:
- ATV2 plugged to Cat6 Ethernet cable (brand new) to Air Port Extreme (running firmware 7.5.2).
- ReadyNAS NV+ plugged to Cat6 Ethernet cable (also brand new) to the same Air Port Extreme. This ReadyNAS is set to 100Mbit Full Duplex.
I've created half a gigabyte file on the ReadyNAS then then SSH into AVT2. From ATV2, I've tried to ftp to the NAS:
ftp> get halfgig /dev/null
200 PORT command successful
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for halfgig (524124160 bytes)
226 Transfer complete
524124160 bytes received in 278 seconds (1887516 bytes/s)
Now, 1887516 bytes/s is 1.89 Mbps. How could it be?
I used my laptop also plugged in the same Air Port Extreme with the same Ethernet cable and the same ftp test resulted: 85.53 Mbps
I know ATV2 has 100Mbit ethernet and why it is so slow? I think this is the culprit causing stuttering and buffering quite often.
Is there anyone experienced the same problem? Is there any suggestion to fix this strange problem?
Thanks guys.
