Or, hardwire the PS3 to the router and problems solved.Your making my point I'll never saturate the capable speed of the RT-N66U that's what I'm trying to tell you. If you want any chance of this working, you need to hardwire your streaming source to the router, this'll approach effectively doubling your wireless bandwidth to the PS3. Its attempting to prioritize video over web and because you are crushing your wifi, its getting relegated to a very distant 3rd priority over the stream from the laptop to the router and then from the router to the PS3. You are asking too much of your wireless with an 802.11g client on there, especially since you are streaming from ANOTHER wireless client.įor the console acting wonky, probably QoS/WMM. If the laptop was hardwired to the router, or the PS3 was an 11n client, it probably would be fine with an 18Mbps bit rate source video.

Look at something more like a 10Mbps bit rate movie if you want non-choppy streaming if you are streaming from ANOTHER wifi source. You'll have to moderate your expectations with the PS3 because of sharing airtime. Odds are, you are getting less than 20Mbps real speeds to the PS3, maybe more like 10-15Mbps. Your video bit rate is around 18Mbps assuming a 2hr movie.Īt best, you are probably getting 20Mbps to the PS3 because it is 802.11g AND you are sharing air time with the laptop that is trying to stream it. The laptop is ALSO streaming over wifi, so it is sucking up some of that too. Realistic rate with overhead, about 30Mbps MAX. PS3 is 802.11g, max 54Mbps signaling rate. 20 Mbps is a *very small number* in today's data transfer speeds, so why is that a problem for a router which has dual 450 Mbps connections ?!

On the other hand, the 16 GB file is for a 136 minute movie, so it translates to exactly 2 MB/sec data transfer on average, which is equivalent to an average 20 Mbps internet connecting working at full bandwidth.

See the graph here: (Router incorrectly reports only 'spikes' of usage, even though the video was continuously streaming all this time)īecause of the constant stuttering, and the lag in the router's graph updating and pages loading, it seems that the router is probably struggling with the 1080p video. The second I stopped playing the video, the graph started updating regularly, and I was able to quickly jump between the router's configuration pages again without any delay. Also, if I tried browsing the router's console pages while the video was streaming, they didn't load, or loaded after a long time. It incorrectly showed zero network usage at most times, even though the video was streaming. Also, the bandwidth graph is made was incorrect. When the video WAS streaming, the graph updated like one every 15 seconds or so.
With no video streaming, the graph updated every second. I say this because while I was streaming, I was monitoring the wireless network traffic in RT-N66U's Traffic Monitor page. Also, I noticed that when I was streaming, even internal LAN communication virtually came to a dead stop. Most times, the video played for one second, then stopped for one second, etc. When streaming the 16GB 1080p file on a PS3, I got a LOT of stutter. Note that my PS3, NT-R66U and streaming Laptop, were all within 10-12 feet of each other, so range isn't an issue. Now, I fired up my RT-N66U (on all default settings - I haven't configured anything in it so far), connected my Laptop (Core i7, 8GB, Win 8.1, Sony VAIO) and PS3 to the 2.4 Ghz default SSID 'ASUS', and tried streaming the 16GB video file on my PS3 using Windows Media Player's streaming features.

To test this, I took one of my Blu-rays (The Island), decrypted it, converted it to an MP4 file using 'High Profile' in Handbrake, which gave me a 16GB MP4 file of the movie. Okay so I wanted a router which can stream 1080p videos without a sweat. I've not even connected the router to my modem yet. įirstly, let me say that I'm *extremely new* to ASUS RT-N66U, so it's very likely that the following issue might just require some tweaking or something. So I bought an ASUS RT-N66U for my new house because its considered as one of the best and fastest routers out there currently.
