Mark7 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Okay, all of my Buzz products, including customers IP providers, wired ethernet, has measured average 90 Mbs. I have Starlink with 200Mbs, wired 90 Mbs, through DLink Fast switch, Cat 7 for the router. On the P6, and everything else, 7 boxes.... On Wireless StarLink G5 Wireless, connection P6, 200 Mbs. All of my Buzz Boxes never went above 90 Mb, in any connection, or country, or IP provider Feed. I have a customer that has 900 mbs measured by Anlaiti, WiFi, ethernet wired, 90 Mbs. Hope this helps, Its not your IP provider. I travel a lot, and test these boxes everywhere. Thank you, Mark7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark7 Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Disconnect the Ethernet cable to your Buzz Box as well. It will work better. Mark7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emporium Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 I am always connected via cable. And yes it seems to be limited to 90Mbps (even on my 500Mbps connection). I tried with onboard ethernet and I also tried at least 4 different brand/models of USB or USB-C to Gigabit adapters. Good thing, they were all recognized on the P6 and the X5 SS. But they all yield the exact same result. I have 0 need for anything faster than that anyhow for streaming. And cable (even if it is slower) is always more stable than any Wifi connection. Even BluRay is only 40Mbps and if you are pulling raw 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray disc rips, they have a maximum video bitrate of 128 Mbps, but pretty sure most don't even go nearly that high, and rips are typically more compressed than that. Until 8K media is mainstream and assuming codec don't improve, I'm pretty sure most people will be hard pressed to need more than 90Mbps, especially from online streaming services. Even Netflix says you need 5 Mbps to stream HD content and 25 Mbps for 4K Ultra HD content, so still a far cry from the 90Mbps the box presently does. Only thing I can see that would need more than that, is if you are going to be transferring large files form local network, to the box, where faster speed would be nice. But other than that, I don't see the issue for streaming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emporium Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 OK.. I will reserve the right to update my posting above sometime tomorrow. Something is presently wrong with one of my managed switches, which is causing an artificial bottleneck on one VLAN. I will reboot everything later, and if it persists, I will replace the switch tomorrow with a spare and the re-post the results. Sorry for the inconvenience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emporium Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 OK here is an UPDATE after correcting my network issues (defective port on switch which kept dropping back to 100Mbps) I retested the P6, X5 128AI, the X5 SS, and the Classic using wired connection, using the onboard ethernet ports and using Analiti to test. My ISP network speed (what I am paying for, is 400Mbps down, and 50 Mbps up). On all of the boxes, my download speed was recorded as 440Mbps to 445Mbps. So pretty much maxing out my connection ( a lot better than previously) However on the Upload speeds all boxes, except the X5 SS, recorded 49Mbps to 54Mbps which also max out my connection. The X5 SS however was the only exception and I could not get it to register anything more than 18Mbps on the upload. Using same exact cable as the other boxes. I tried a clean reboot, I even tried using a USB3 to Eth adapter, just in case, and in all cases, the upload speed remained around the same. I know this is a Powerstation thread, but If someone can test the X5 SS, with a wired connection, just to see if it is consistent with my results, on the upload, it would be appreciated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
