Hey all.
First off I have not posted here in years. I actually don't know if I've ever posted here, actually, but I did have an account, amazingly enough.
I have an issue that I did research before coming here to write, and while I do see some similar threads related to my topic, I still thought it best to start from scratch.
So basically I have Comcast Performance Internet (20MB down) and I can not for the life of me get Netflix to Steam in Super HD. I can't even get it to consistently stream in 720. I have tried everything I know. It glancing at the forums, it seems this is simply a Comcast problem? I spend the better part of Saturday trying to reconfigure my router, move it, etc, all to improve my streaming.
We live in a condo, the modem is upstairs along with my router, which is a wrt54g using tomato. The tv I am trying to stream to is directly downstairs, maybe 20 feet away total if that. I'm using a Sony BDP-S590 to stream Netflix.
In my search to get this working, I managed to get ahold of a Linksys 300N router that someone had laying around. I installed tomato on it, replaced my current router with it, and I still could not improve my Netflix.
At one point I even took my modem and router downstairs to the TV, plugged in a wired connecton to the Blu-Ray player and I STILL could not get it to stream in HD.
It was at that point I realized this problem may not be my router setup at all, but Comcast. If that is the case, what, if anything, can I do?
One other thing to note: Last night I was messing with it again and I went into my router and turned off the QoS I had setup. My speed test jumped by about 10 megs after I did that. Not sure if that means I have it configured wrong or what. However I did try netflix with QoS off and had the same results.
Super frustrated with this whole thing. If it's just been an issue with Comcast all this time....Ugh is all I can say.
