Just for your information, your router/network must be robust enough. I was using the router provided by my ISP and the devices streaming from my NAS were being dropped when streaming 4k (~15GBs), I struggled because I thought it was a problem from the devices but it was in fact the shitty router. Once I updated, I had no problems anymore.
is streaming based on the internet speed? cause I live in 3rd world country & only have 50mbs
If it's inside your own network, it depends on your local network speeds. Most routers usually have gigabit ethernet ports. WiFi depends on the signal quality
If outside your network, you'll be capped by your upload speed
I would like to emphasize that it's not only the speed of the local network connection. Also computing power of the router is important, as too much load will put a lot of strain in the CPU of the router.
That's interesting, I'd never thought of that before. Is there some metric to measure this by? Like, do manufacturers report what cpu (chip?) their router has? I haven't seen anything like that on listings for amateur products, at least.
