The way this whole thing came about, is that I am trying to set up my Raspberry Pi and XBMC. I've got a desktop in the next room which is acting as a server, and hosting all of my media. I am getting terrible network speeds from my desktop, and can't figure out why.
When I try to watch a movie on the pi, it is stuttering and freezing. I know it's a network issue, because local media will play just fine. Also, if I run a speed test on the desktop at the time of the playback issues, I get super slow results (around 1mb/s)
When I run a speed test on my desktop (speedtest.net), I get real inconsistent results, anywhere from 1-6 mb/s. I can run the same test on my laptop anywhere in my house, and consistently get 15-18 mb/s. The desktop is connected to the network through an Asus USB-N10 network adapter, and I thought maybe that was the issue, but when I connect that same adapter to my laptop and connect through it, I still get 15-18 mb/s, and also when I am hardwired with the laptop and ethernet cable, the same 15-18.
I tried the network adapter in every different USB port of the desktop w/ no noticeable change. Also using the latest driver for the adapter. Firmware on my router (WRT54G) is also freshly updated.
It's something to do with the desktop. Desktop is running a fairly fresh build of Windows 7, while the laptop is Windows 8.
This is driving me crazy, any ideas?
