Hello all,
I just got the nvidia shield and it has a lot of promise though I have a feeling my network may be screwing it up. I'm trying to pc stream from one wall and around 20 feet away. I have a network that on the wired connection is about 30 mb/s down and 5 mb/s up (which should be plenty). I'm using an Asus RT-N56 router which is one of the nvidia recommended routers. I have SLI GTX 670 as my video card. My drivers for the video cards are up to date with the beta drivers. The nvidia shield has been placed on the 5ghz band. The shield has been allowed by windows firewall.
When I go to connect to a game everything works fine and I can start gaming. The problem happens shortly after when the game becomes very laggy so much that I lose connection. Again I am only 20 feet or so and one wall away from the shield. When I go to run a speedtest on the shield it shows insanely slow down speeds of 2-3 mb/s whereas my PC wired is picking up 30 mb/s and my phone will pick up around 20 mb/s. There isn't any interference that I can tell...I have nothing that gives out a 2.4 or 5 ghz signal.
My question is there something I"m missing? I've had the router for about 4 years...could it just be getting too old and I should get a new one? Or perhaps there's some settings I'm missing that will speed up the connection so I can actually use this device for it's sole purpose.
If anyone knows any good shield advice please let me know.
Thanks!
