Video Buffering problem Archos Gamepad 2

[Fraevers]

Hello,

I have a problem and I hope you can help me.

I own an Archos Gamepad 2 now for a few months and I am actually very satisfied with it. Gaming is very good, surfing is ok too.

However when I want to buffer a video (either from Youtube or from apps with which you can watch programs you have missed) it buffers a lot, actually this much that it makes watching videos undoable.

The strange fact is, that if I watch television live on my tablet (programms running on that moment via the app of my tv provider, via the web) I have no problems. However when watching videos that are buffered I goed very slow.

When I use the same sites for watching videos on my laptop there is no problem so to my opinion the internet connection (wifi) is not the problem.

At first I thought it was my download speed on the archos tablet which is slowed (when doing speed test) then on my phone (xperia play) or laptop. However when I download a large app, a game for instance, I get download speeds of a bout 1 megabyte.

I hope you can help me!

Thanks in advance,

Fraevers

Welcome to the site Fraevers

I get download speeds of a bout 1 megabyte.

Is your speed 1Mbps (megabits per second) or 1MBps (megabytes per second)? Speeds of 1 megabyte per second would be fast enough to stream SD or HD video.

However 1 megabit per second is not fast enough for HD streaming and would cause repeated buffering. Are you watching the videos in HD (720p) or SD (360p, 480p)?
