Using my sig rig and an old PC hooked up to my TV, I've been trying to stream video from the sig rig to the older rig but it's so slow files stop to buffer every 30 seconds or so.
The old PC has poor specs but fast enough to play videos.
Both rigs have Win 7.
I've tried streaming though shared folders in homegroup and WMP.
The router's a Linksys N160 and both PCs are connected to the network at 100mbp/s
Thanks
edit for more info: I do realise that wifi bandwidth is shared across the connected machines. My internet connection's slow so I'm not using up much bandwidth that way. I'm not expecting 100mbp/s speeds. Just fast enough to stream 720p videos (whatever speed that might require).
The files I'm streaming from are on a secondary 7,500rpm drive so it's not a read/write speed limit there. The 2nd PC, although slow, isn't being held back by hardware limitations.
