Comment on Plex Server Replacement

If you went from “everything works”, to “now it stutters”, then you either have a networking issue, or a resource issue on the source.
Did you update something recently?
Do you have network stats from your router?
Do some devices work fine, and others don’t?

I see no other issues from the network. The thing that “changed” is me trying to watch 4k stuff on my plex server. Up until recently, I didn’t bother with 4k. No real reason for trying it now, TBH. I’ve never felt that 4k was necessary for home viewing on anything smaller than a 100” screen (my largest if 75”).

Okay, so what’s your network look like?
Specs on your router, is this wired or wireless to the Shield, how much other traffic are the other network clients pulling, and is this a constant, or just happens intermittently?

Everything’s wired. Router is a TP-Link BE63, 2 APs w/ wired backhaul. Shield is on the same switch as the synology. STBs are throughout the house, but generally max 3-hops to the Shield/Synology. All Netgear bluebox 1Gb dumbswitches. At some point in the near future, I plan on getting this stuff to a central switch, so everything is a leaf switch away from it.

Netgear is…kinda shit. Is that 1Gb for the whole switch, or per-port? Any traffic steering on the network?
