Streaming Blu Ray Quality over Wireless N

[Hemps]

Read somewhere that it is a display error from Vista days.
Router is set to N only and it connects so it must be working.

Thanks for that info. I completely forgot that you can "rip" content as uncompressed too

Please don't mix MB/s (megabyte per second) and Mb/s (megabit per second), because 2Mb/s is typical for 720p compressed rips and not 1080p ones, since 2Mb/s would give you a 2GB file for 2 hours.

@hemps:
You'll need it to run at Wireless N, otherwise you won't get a high enough throughput to be able to stream BluRay compressed rips (~8GB).

2Mb/s amounts to 2GB for 2 hours, which is the size for a typical 720p (compressed) rip, and not a BluRay/1080p (compressed) rip.

BluRay is already (loslessly) compressed on disc in h264 format. The 8gb (lossy) rips you find on the internet are nowhere close to bluray quality. They are similar to DVD in quality

OK, changed security to WPA2 and it now shows N.

Tested a file copy and I get 4.4MB/ Second to another Win 7 pc via wireless N.
Tested a file copy via Gigabit Lan and I get 6.7MB/Second.

that is rather slow for gigabit LAN. I'm getting like 40MB/s due to my Intel Atom being too slow for NTFS read & writes.

I know, installed Teracopy and will give that a try.

I'm not answering the question, but to know that others get 4-6MB/sec on N.

I use N and typically get those speeds, but everyone has told me it's way too slow for N. But when Googling, I see that's actually average for N ...
