file transfer speed remotely? Is it good enough for movie/video watching? I got Comcast 5mbps upload.

Absolutely. I purchased this because I have ripped all of my Blu-Ray and DVD's to usb disk drives. I two NetGear NTV550's and am able to stream Blu-Ray movies to each of them simultaneously without any glitches or pauses.

The Cirago hub works well enough for sharing photos and audio files, but I would not attempt to run anything fast like a movie or video using the device.

Hello, I was wanting to know if this is a good device for transferring movies that I already have on my computer?Tamara

It doesn't slow things that I have noticed but we're not streaming video. It's a pretty low resolution @480p so don't think it should cause a problem.

I know my own wireless-g network cannot keep up with some 1080p content, so it may be a moot point depending on your specific network and bitrate of files

Speedtest.net shows 30 Mbps down from FioS and Comcast (both tests run at the same time). Upload was 25 and 5 Mbps respectively. That is probably the limit of my service and not the router. I have Gigabit wired network internally.

I have the 60 model but Internet should stream good at 5 mbps. But depends on so many things that the only way is to try. Forget what is on paper. Try and you will know. But in theory 5 mbps should be sufficient.

Yes, if you are not moving large file/ lots of data internally it's probably not a big deal. Most internet connections are nowhere near that fast so if it's the internet you are talking about then does not matter.

for my use case it works faster that WD. I transfer files over LAN. Wifi will be slow.

Haven't used it for that. More/less planned to use as media server. But with alot of content (0.5TB-1TB) it's not ideal.

I have used it without a problem for an office network in which we access a server with scanned files that are approximately 1MB each. I would think that a video need would be a lot more intense, but I have not tried it for that. Good luck.

I use it with my Comcast Dory modem (router, phone, and modem combo) without any problems. Speed seems to be the same more or less but I only do video streaming on this particular PC.

4Mbps upload should be more than adequate. I get by with 2.5 - 3.5 on average. Equally important, however, is that you have a fast download speed as well on the receiving end.

Yes, I believe it will because I am currently using it with Comcast internet and both download and upload speed are unaffected. I added this booster because I was having trouble with on-demand and this cleared up the problem.

I load extra software on it,it works fine.75-80mb per sec when you copy files.

The network is ok .. but I couldn't test the speed because there is no way to see/copy/files through network in this device and no way to browse for subtitle. I don't recommend this player for you dear .. look for other media player

I've done it, but it's not pretty. The streams go over your network uncompressed. So we're talking 15-20 megabits, depending on what bitrates your cable company uses. If you have that much upstream to work with, then it should be fine. I don't and I've been meaning to enable OpenVPN's compression to see if that works, but I have yet to try it.

In Castle Rock, WA on the I-5 corridor, I just did a test at Speedtest.net and I'm currently getting 2.74Mbps down, and 2.99Mbps up. I would guess this is due to my semi-remote location, and the way that I'm using it (as a shared connection for my entire home network) and not the device itself.
