My home network has a router with a comp, nas, and voip attached and a switch attached to 2xXbox360, other gaming consoles, and a media player. Today my wife was watching netflix on an XBox360 and I started watching a bluray movie (mkv) that was on a shared drive on my comp, on the media player. She started experiencing buffering problems with netflix. I shut down all other internet stuff and the problem persisted but only when I was watching the movie.
My thought is to flip the XBox360 and the NAS so that if the situation happens again the switch is not overloaded/the router could better manage the load. Is this a good idea? or do I need a better switch?
My router is a Netgear WNDR4500 and the switch is a Trendnet TEG-S80g. Both are gigabit.
