    FREQUENT HDX BUFFER ON SAMSUNG UN55C8000 TV

    Hello,

    I have a wired LAN connection with a speedtest result from speedtest .net at 21 mps download speed. HDX movie streaming on my new Samsung LED TV is interrupted by frequent buffering which is very frustrating and I am forced to just rent a blue ray movie at a local blockbuster store. Pls. help me resolve this issue. I have an airlink router and cable modem from timewarner with a 15 mps speed plan. Thanks.

    Re: FREQUENT HDX BUFFER ON SAMSUNG UN55C8000 TV

    I am in Flroida and have comcast but this is what I'm posting all over I assume cable techology works the same way weather it's comcast or timewaner but I have mad a facinating discovery change the wan ip address.

    here is my post


    This is what I did

    1. make your lg machine or other device a Static ip
    2.open up ports 8100-8199 and 13200-13299
    3. get a cat 6 cable spec wize it won't do anything but it does provide a cleaner singal

    That probobly won't work but it will maximize the configuration.

    What I did to find out weather it was comcast or vudu was give it a speed test on Vudu web's site and it was confirmed my speed was slower than 4mbps. To confirm it more while this was buffering I put on netflix and I was not buffering but I was getting a very poor quality picture which usually represents poor singal.

    What worked for me was to change the WAN ip address. I have comcast and I have a residental setup of 16mbps standard. It is said to have a dynamic Ip address but everytime I unplugged it and repluged it in it came up with the same IP address. The work around is as such.

    Everytime Comcast plugs into a network card, router or any device it assigns an ip address to that device. It does this by using the device Mac Address. What that means if I hook up my modem to the nic card I will get a differnet Ip address then I would if I hook up my modem to a Router. because the MAC address is different on every network device. it's a 12 digit hexadecimal number to identify that network device.) However if I'm plugged into that router and I just want to reset it to the same device the ip address of the router is what Im going to get.

    The work around is as such

    you can go into your setup page of your router, and clone another mac address of another nic card or device. instead of using the router mac address (which will be your default because your modem is hooked up to it.) In your router you will look for the field clone mac address. After you find that field you will imput the mac address you copied on paper and input it in the clone field in the router. when you do that comcast will think your router is that other device because it using that mac address you gave it by typeing it in the clone field so now you a different Wan IP. So now that you are confused and have no idea what I'm talking about I will try to explain it in detail.

    This is what I did I unplugged my modem from my router and powered off the modem. I have a few old laptops I plugged in my modem to the laptops directly. I let it assign an ip address to the laptop that the modem was plugged into at that time. After I did that I copied down the mac address on paper. I found out the Mac address by typing in the command prompt ipconfig /all. Sometimes the laptop might have the MAC address listed on the bottom of the laptop. After I did this a few times (with different laptops) and had my mac addresses copied down I hooked up my router the usual way and I went into the setup page and typed the mac address in the clone field in the router that I was going to try. if VUDU was steady then it woeked if not we repete the fuction putting in another mac address. When you do this Comcast will think your router is another device and give it a differnet Ip address.


    What I noticed was most of my ip addresses (using different laptops) was getting an ip of 98.xx.xx.xx.xx On one of my laptops I got a 66.xx.xx.xx.xx That was better but it didn't clear up the problem. so I finally found a laptop that gave me a 74.xx.xx.xx and believe it or not it worked. I have not had one rebuffer in 1080p singnal 10pm or 6am Before I did this i always had rebuffering problems


    Please let me know how it worked out
