How can I use DLNA on LG B8 via PC to test true wi-fi speed
Hi all,
I watch a lot of 1:1 high bandwidth 4K Dolby Vision / HDR movies on my LG 55" B8 OLED via my PC, and for such an expensive TV (£2000 new in 2018) it only has a crap 100MBit LAN - most 4K 1:1 is OK through it, but, high bandwidth action scenes aren't even buffered, as its a direct stream, but the PLEX app (or DLNA via plex's DLNA server process) does not buffer.
The speed tester app is off the internet and is totally useless 50-208Mbps, with BT Gigabit FTTP SmartHub2 Router 2 inches from the rear of the TV -25dB signal according to the BT SmartHub 2
Now I can see the TV in the NETWORK folder - but it has a 3 connections for it, and one for playing media from it? but NONE that allow access to it's storage, the other one that looks like an iPod starts Windows Media Player, and wants to try and play something off it - cancelled that before it set itself up!!
How can I set it up with DLNA so i can send a file (over LAN G/Bit) to the router, then to TV via 5Ghz Wi-Fi - so i can monitor the speed it sent from the PC, then i would get a TRUE READING of the wi-fi speed without relying on external factors (web testers) i need to test the wi-fi speed in my local network
any help is greatly appreciated
thanks
PS. how the heck do u change yer system specs? no edit button>?
