I just received my buffer. It will not start in low speed, but will in high speed. Do others have this issue?

No, mine starts fine at low and high speeds. Sounds like the motor or switch may have a loose wire.

I have had no problems with my buffer. It starts in either low or high and runs perfectly.

Mine works as it should, but my brother has one that he changed the switch early on to one that was well made.

I have had mine for over a year now with no problems. I just buffed out a custom made guitar with it using 12" buffers with no problems

Mine starts in low speed just fine. The speed up is about the same a high but high takes a little longer to get to the higher speed.
2020640
Yes. Mine lasted two days and same problem. Not happy but too much aggravation to return it!
2020641
I have not had any problems with mine. I use the slow speed almost 100% of the time.

No, mine is working fine. And I use it all the time. I hope you can get it working well. Good luck.

We've got the same issue here. We're thinking that it's a cabling problem and continue to search for the answer. Please post any solutions!Best!

Can't help you. Mine works fine. It was cheap for a 8GB. Guess I was lucky mine hooks up right away.

We use this router in conjunction with a Roku to watch streamed shows and movies. There seems to be a buffer, and once in a while a show will pause if the streaming is slow. I assume that is a problem with the signal entering our house from iur Internet provider, and not the router.

I've had this player for a few months now, but I just got my first ever router, which happens to be wireless, only 3 days ago. My speed is also 1 mps. Based upon the reviews I have read on Amazon, I didn't think I would be able to watch Netflix without constant buffering. I was wrong, because it played great. The video quality was very good and there was only a minor delay at the beginning of the film, probably about 30-45 seconds, or so. A few caveats are in order, though. So far, I have only watched about 20 minutes of that film, as I've been experimenting with other stuff on the player, mainly music. It never paused at all during that time, and I doubt that it will later. Now, as far as other content goes, at 1 mps, there is noticeable buffering on some YouTube videos, also some buffering on certain DIVX content, and way too much buffering on VUDU for me to even consider using it at 1 mps. Finally, I don't know how much of the credit goes to the wireless router for this performance, but I am really pleased with the results it has given so far. Hope this info. helps. UPDATE: I now stream at 3mps. The initial delay before starting a Netflix movie has been reduced greatly. Also, before I upgraded to 3mps, and I was still at 1mps, I tried accessing another Netflix DVD. While the buffering process may have been a couple of minutes, at no time during the playing of the film did it pause again. I'm guessing Netflix calculates you speed and adjust the beginning of the playback to allow uninterrupted playback. One other note: With the 3mps speed, divx plays with no delays at all. I am very impressed.

I notice my internet speeds lower if I use the cm but it's still pretty fast. Try rebooting both of them. Unplug plug back in etc

If you are looking at the video on the unit that's not unusual because of limited (aka "slow.) playback memory. What the skipping usually is, is that the playback stops to take time to load more video, play, stop to load more video. That's usually the source of the problem and is not actually on the video that way but rather just how the playback works. Have you downloaded the video to your computer and assuming that your is relatively new and fast, you may (should) find that the video runs normally.

Plugged it in and it said it wasn't fast enough to run games... though it seems to run the one game (risk factions) I did put on it and stores my profile. Waiting to see if there are any other drawbacks.

I had the same problem and the video playback was choppy. I don't think this product works very well. I wish I had an answer for you.

It's either defective, you missed one of the connections or maybe not connected good enough. If all is good, I'd send it back. Theres alot of good tutorials on the tube..

I had the problem at first too. I discovered when you fill it to the line, it doesn't work. So, I go a little below the line and it works fine. Try that!

I do not notice any better performance in buffering. Generally speaking if you have a small bandwidth you will get drop outs on occasion with this unit. That being said all other units I have tested for internet streaming do the same...

Mr. Kung, I think you may have a problem with your system. Each of my stations follows the other without any delay and that is the way it is supposed to work. It has been a very good unit for me. You should call them and explain the problem. I am sure they will have you return the unit and replace it with a new one. I apologize for being flippant.

Guess is a product malfunction the machine should maintain the selected speed. The one I owned has no issues of this kind. Should Call customer service for any specific instruction if problem persist suggest to return the product back to them.

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.
