You are so right with this one.

In fact, I ran the tweak tests at http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks

Following the instructions for checking and changing the RWIN settings, I amended the value as recommended.

The resulting change was amazing. In fact when connected to the Slingbox, instead of slowly running to a max of about 500k; it quickly shot up to and exceeded 1 MB. In fact at one point it nearly reached 1 1/2 mb.

I also updated the firmware to the latest version too.

Moral of this:

1 Keep firmware uptodate
2 Check your TCP/IP settings
