I too am at a loss.
In Australia, have a BigPond standard issue Netgear router - CG3100D-2.
My MBLD is very slow - am lucky to get the Dashboard working 50% of the time. Using Finder (on Mac) if I see an AVI and click to view then the movie is buffering, blocky, and doesnt play.
Takes around 1 hour to copy one 2.3GB movie.
I compare this to my PS3 (also wireless) and that can download a 8GB game from the Internet in around 30 minutes.
Why is the MBLD so slow? I try to use it for iTunes server and will not respond. Try to watch movies from it and stutters and is very slow…
Not overly technically minded… what can I do??
I have checked my Router, and under the DHCP Client Lease area, is has the MAC add off the MBLD with an IP address and the Expirt says - STATIC IP ADDRESS. I assume this means the Router has dedicated a Static IP for the MBLD. However in the Dashboard, it has DHCP, and a DIFFERENT IP address… could this be the problem???
Thanks
