Sign up with GoogleHi all
My set-up is as follows.. Asus N14 U modem, Telkom 8meg line with Vox as my ISP, and a Mygica 495X TV box running wirelessly from the modem. This set-up has been running absolutely fine for the last few months since I got the Mygica. I am using the pre-installed version of Netflix and Kodi and the Playstore version of Showmax. I use any of the above Kodi add-ons for movies etc
I am now experiencing a (to me) strange issue. It all started last weekend when my 8meg ADSL line went legs up and decided to run a t 0.03megs.
A very helpful Telkom techie arrived and tested and fiddled using his and my modem and eventually re-created and re-set everything back to 8megs. It all looked hunky dory and Netflix, Showmax worked flawlessly and using my PC for downloads and Youtube etc was perfect.
The issue arose when trying to use Kodi to stream a movie or series...everything seemed to lag, and there is a large amount of buffering and freezing.
I thought that it might be a wireless issue and move the TV box and modem around to no avail. I then hard wired the modem to the TV box which gave me a perhaps 1% increase in performance. I have uninstalled everything (add-ons) and even gone as far as doing a factory re-set on the Mygica and reinstalling the latest and shiniest versions of the apps, but it’s still the same!
I seem to remember that my ADSL line, before the crash, was syncing at slightly lower than 8megs, around 7.1 megs (on the router) ....Could this be the issue? Could the 8meg profile be unstable?
I’m fairly new to all this, so any constructive comments or wise words will be appreciated!
