Wired is good.Not the fancy wireless for live streaming.
To check ip,use the following apps if-
pc-
http://www.speedtest.net/
android phone/tablet-
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...m.iptools&hl=en
and check which ip work better for you.
you can change the ip address each time you off the modem for 20sec.
Look for the 1st 3 front number.for a start do not take the one starting with 175.very bad.
remember Telexxx ip changes every hours or day,(dynamic ip)
there is trick to capture a good ip and maintain it for weeks and month.
cannot disclose here.big brother may be reading.

Hi,
Can you please guide which one is a better choice to build OPENELEC media player to watch 1080p movies, either Intel Celeron N2820/N2830 process or new Intel Atom processor i.e. Z3735F or how these 2 compare with RPI-2? Which one would you suggest? Use is purely watching online contents from Genesis etc or watching 1080p movies from local disk attached via USB.

If you don't need dtshdma/truehd/atmos bitstream then get the rpi2 for absolute cheapness and lowest power consumption. Not plug and play though

I had tried to add this advanced setting.XML file into userdata with following setting.
<advancedsettings>
<network>
<buffermode>1</buffermode> <!-- Comment: Default is 1 -->
<cachemembuffersize>0</cachemembuffersize> <!-- Comment: Default is 20971520 bytes or 20 MB -->
<readbufferfactor>4.0</readbufferfactor> <!-- Comment: Default is 1.0 -->
</network>
</advancedsettings>

It becomes worst than before....so now I change the setting to
this

<advancedsettings>
<network>
<buffermode>1</buffermode> <!-- Comment: Default is 1 -->
<cachemembuffersize>20971520</cachemembuffersize> <!-- Comment: Default is 20971520 bytes or 20 MB -->
<readbufferfactor>4.0</readbufferfactor> <!-- Comment: Default is 1.0 -->
</network>
</advancedsettings>

Much better but buffering still happen once in a while

I only used Pi and Minix X7 for Live stream(Kodi) on news i.e cnn,bloomberg,BBC News and etc.
The other pi,Volumio with hifiberry dac+ for music stream or flac playback
For Movie,tv series and docu, use custom built-low power ITX(RM600-650-one time)
with Seedbox,VPN(65 Monthly) and private tracker for downloading.
Playback with Minix X8
Cut cable tv(RM146-RM65=save RM81)
What does this tell you.
