My situation can be described as: my DLNA streaming video works magnificently at home but when it's on an external IP address, you know, your Public IP address that displays every time you go onto whatismyip.com it seems to have trouble with the video. I have diagnosed that there is nothing wrong with the video file in general. It's my network. I'm trying to access my home network from a university connection, but instead the video sometimes creates artifacts. It stops for buffering then when its playing again it leaves behind pixelated artifacts from the position where it started to lag. My home connection is on a DHCP wireless connection provided by Comcast. The device I'm trying to access my video files from is a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2. My question is if the situation I just described, with the external network being not as powerful as the home network, is it normal or is there something very wrong with my connection? The video is coming in through the firewall, so that is a good sign. The video files I'm trying to stream are 1080p hi res video files. Am I putting too much work on the external network, which is why my external connection is not as fast?
