![]() It has a CPU that is basicly a NAS CPU lol. And then use the 10Gbit link or 2G aggregation ports to connect to your network, either to a switch via SFP+ uplink port or LAG group. In this way, if you have standard 1Gbit equipment there should never be a bottleneck, in theory. Use the more powerfull CPU to do transcoding and transferring files. XR700 was meant as a all in one Router/wifi/NAS/media streaming platform. In this way you would be better off attaching the USB drive to your PC or use a standalone box for Plex and attach the drive to that. That's a bit inefficient since you transfer to the PC first, and then back to the switch/router and then to the device. But in your case I am guessing you read from the drive, let your PC do transcoding in plex and then forward it to the TV or Shield. I used the generic Readyshare DNLA media server so you basicly go straight from drive to device. This is why I suspect it's capped to 85MB/s, it leaves roughly 25 MB/s for internet which is about 200 mbit. (also internally) So say you play a movie on your shield and you play a game on a separate device it can congest your network when you are buffering data, ie when spooling ahead etc. Just what you need to be aware of is that is uses your link between switch and router. But since you have a Shield as well, they have 1Gbit ports so no issue there. And then it's the TV LAN port that can't keep up. ![]() The only time I have issues with this is when you play really high bitrate content like Blue Ray rips that is 80GB lol. TV's often have 100 mbit LAN ports anyway so it rarely causes a performance issue. ![]() This was tested with a Samsung SSD so no bottleneck on that end. ![]() I would expect the XR1000 to be in the same ballpark. In router mode you need to keep some bandwith available for internet use. I'm not sure but in AP mode the XR500 basicly maxes out the 1Gbit port. ![]()
