Archer C8 - Issues with streaming over wifi from attached HDD
Model :
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version : 3.17.0
ISP :
Hello,
I have Archer C8 wi-fi router with connected external 1TB HDD on USB 3.0.
When I stream video or music over LAN cable connection from the attached ext. HDD there is no problem - everything works smoothly even when the other device has 100MB connection.
When I stream video or music content from my attached ext. HDD over wireless there is a issues and it is almost impossible to stream anything. I have tried everything 5GHz conn. 2.4 conn. with several N and AC several wifi adapters, but music stream drops very often and video stream almost impossible even to start.
The interesting thing is when I stream over wifi from laptop or any other attached to the network computer everything works perfectly, but not from attached to the router ext. HDD
So my problem is only when I get content from attached to the router HDD over wifi.
Btw. measured connections speed when I transfer files to the ext. HDD is 26MB/s ~ 30MB/s so the speed of the HDD or speed of the connection to the router is not a problem.
