My suspicion would be the broadband router, depending on how it operates. Some do a lot of processing on signals, others only handle what is deliberately routed through them. For me, anything attached to "internet" is separate from regular network stuff. A 24-port gigabit switch talks to ...

I wouldn't expect your Plex server to be transcoding, but maybe it is. It is worth checking to see if Plex is transcoding while you play a 4K file. You can see this on the Plex dashboard. Plex Support: Direct Play, Direct Stream, Transcoding Overview Thank you - I will run a test at the weekend

Any Uk solutions on buying a drive that will just work out of the box, ie already flashed etc ?
