Streaming bluray ISOs over wifi...looking for a wifi router with massive throughput

[solomongrundy]

If you stream  your bluray isos over wifi, what router do you use?

I'm looking for a high performance wireless N router.

Get an old PC, put PF Sense on it and be done with pre done, crap routers.

That's pointless (don't need the speed), and not worth it since barely anything still supports it.

 

From what I've seen, Blu-Ray movies stream at about 20-50 Mb/s, so pretty much any (working) wireless N router can do that.

 

I'd personally go for the ASUS N66u, it's one of the highest performing and most well recommended (as it deserves) wireless N router.

Don't forget to upgrade the firmware to the new ones.

Why can you not use a Cat 5e or Cat6 cable?

I have an Asus RT-N16 Wireless N router, and a Samsung Smart TV. The TV is about 10 metres away from the router and can't even consistently play my Blu Ray movies, just standard 720p ones.

 

Best thing to do is route some Cat6 under the house and plug it in directly. No buffering, just consistent playing.

OK, but that would be caused by low end networking gear. I doubt the TV has a decent networking card, and the N16 isn't a high end router by any means.

 

I have an ASUS N66u along with a TP-Link WDN4800 and I can easily stream stuff. I get about 40 Mb/s (which is the maximum speed of my network).

 

It really depends on your gear.

 

*note* I'm siting about 35 ish feet away, and the signal goes through one external and three internal walls, along with one floor.

Thanks blade of grass..I'll take a look at the N66.
