Cheap temporary streamer

[bobertk]

to be clear - use the router to route. it is the hub.  NAS as hub cannot be optimal.  



?? sorry again i dont understand this point.

you said you have the router to NAS and the NAS to D200

1) remove the ethernet direct link from NAS to 200 (keep router to NAS)

2) insert ethernet direct link router to 200

the routers job is to talk to and coordinate everyone - it directs traffic.  running NAS into 200 means 200 must use wireless to communicate w AIR

What did you spend the 650 quid on?

This is exactly as I have it set up now.......told you I was a novice

we are all novices

ok .  to not spend more -  is there a 5ghz channel broadcasting from router.  are the laptop and ipad set to that channel.  is wifi turned off at the 200.     

oh, try moving re-orienting router and or it's antennas

if it's practical to run cheap ethernet cable to laptop you can try that and see if that helps

AIR does sound better, IMO.  It's worth some effort and I do think it's use-case scenarios as much as bugs.  or, use-case scenarios are part of the bugs.
