You got any better FREE solution then?? I don't see what's the big deal renaming files. I hate long meaningless file names anyway. It's only a 5 seconds job. doh.gif

It is too late for me to migrate to it la. Ya la 5sec per file but 6Tb of files? sweat.gif
I use back the original FREE version that WDTV Live come with.

Hohoho, booth babes
Same floor, not really that far
Looks like xmounted shares only appear when I'm using LAN but not on wireless
Maybe I'll try having nfs shares listed under network shares hmm.gif

Yeah..the fair there actually put the price a bit higher...RM199 + RM59.

btw, can u tell me what is the exact revision of ur wifi dongle??

I read **RevA2** ( pid-vid : 07d1-3a09 ) cannot work and only Rev A ( pid-vid : 07d1-3c10 ) can work.

Maybe if cannot work...quickly sell in garage sales....sweat.gif...

I took the plunge...sweat.gif....bought a TPLINK TL-WR1043ND and a TL-WN812N...kanasai...the TL-WN812N is ver 3.1...screwed liao...WDTV cannot detect....It is written on a small sticker on the box which i didn't see....so if you guys wanna buy any of this adaptors...ALWAYS CHECK THE STICKER ON THE BOX FOR REVISION NO!!! It is not shown anywhere else, even on the adaptor itself!

Now, i took back my old Aztech WIFI N150 adaptor from my friend whom i borrow to earlier. I was hoping for max speed for 300N, but looks like now have to stick to 150N....i'll test tonight and see how is the result..if it works but slow, maybe i'll hunt for another compatible WIFI-N300 adaptor...

Official compatibility list here:

Official WDTV Live compatible USB WIFI Adaptor list

Looks like ASUS is the common unit that can be found in the shops here.

Btw, i've tested with my laptop the TP-LINK USB WIFI adaptor...the file copy speed i get is about 9MB/s...which loosely translate to 72Mbps...which is pretty good considering when i copy files over a 10/100 wired network, only get 7.xxMB/s.

Cross finger my Aztech can give decent speed for streaming at least 10GB files....sweat.gif...

Will update again.

I guess I was lucky, I actually bought TL-WN812N online
I think it's gonna work fine with 10gb files, but it might stutter with 15-20gb files(average bitrates >12mbps) for 150N

You lucky SOB....tongue.gif

Anyway, i'll use that adaptor for my wife's laptop...and then fix the wireless to Wireless-N only. I read that using mixed mode (b/g/n) will be slower, dunno how true or not.

Most of my files under 10GB, so if it works, i'll just leave it as that....those huge files just copy to external HDD to watch.

Crossfingers for tonight testing. Wish me luck.

Heheh, I'm lucky indeed
Guess I'll have to think twice before buying another TL-WN812N
Then again it still depends on the distance,
720p definitely works fine
1080p(8gb still ok)
If it does stutter, try using NFS share instead.

I don't understand this NFS share...is it an option in the B-RAD firmware only? I am planning to update one of WDTV to the B-Rad firmware, any simple steps to follow to flash the firmware?? Pls advice!!
