i have had a 500, 550, and now a 650, and all are so slow at streaming videos to my ipad 2, and samsung galaxy S4.

i have added the line ap_11n=1 to my config, and no difference.

my 32gb card is OK at best, but the 64gb cards it streams for around 8-15 seconds, and then buffers for quite some time before it will play again, but even then its only for a short time before it buffers again.

i have tried formatting using different programs inc GUIformat, and it makes no difference.

getting pretty peed of at it.
 
hmmm never thought about this. i thought my new 650 had ****ty wifi, but you are probably correct that it is because i am using the 64gb card.
 
Arg I'm having the same issue. I saw a demo video of someone with a seamless experience. They were using the stock 16GB card. I updated the firmware last night so I'll see if anything improved, or I'll try out the 16GB card to see if there is a difference. I like the 64GB size though, that's why I bought the 600.

Ive actually had no issues with a 64gb card in my 550 once I formated it in fat32 with guitar format

have you compared streaming speed compared to a lesser 32, or 16gb card?


I will later do a time test of how long a clip of same length takes on a 32gb, and a 64gb card, and post back here, pizzaengineer if you could do the same with your 64gb card, that would be great, and also mention what device your using to stream to.
 
First pic is a 3 min clip on 32gb card

Second pic 3 min clip on a 64 gb card
Both transend, and uh1 cards. Streaming to my ipad less than 2 foot away from camera.
