Am I doing something wrong, or need to change some settings here.

I have a 4TB RAID5 NAS unit with built in media server at my house which is accessed using 4 devices, my PS3, my Samsung LED TV (which has built in Divx and wireless), my Netgear EVA2000 and my laptop. Every single device connects to the NAS wirelessly and every single unit runs flawlessly... except the PS3. Whenever I play a movie through the PS3 it stops every 3-5 mins to buffer for a few seconds.

Now normally I wouldn't use the PS3, however it can play more formats than the TV and it can pause the movie which the TV can't. The Netgear media streaming device is in the bedroom (which is even further away from the WAP) and I don't want to have to move it into the living room just to play certain movies.

Its not like I'm trying to play MKV Bluray rips here, just 1.4-2GB DivX and H264. Surely the PS3 has better functionality than this.

Dude, if I had your setup, I could die a happy man. That or Kim Kardashian, whichever works. 


While the Samsung TV is a bit of a luxury, the Lacie 5Big NAS and Netgear EVA2000 aren't that expensive.

To be honest the Lacie NAS is ok but I wouldn't want to use it for anything that requires decent transfer speed via wired LAN. It's cheap for what you get so I'm happy with it as a media box over wireless. Hope it doesn't die on me though as backing up that much data isn't easy.
