The Network Performance Monitor
The Network Performance Tuner uses the Network Performance Monitor
to measure available network bandwidth between your Computer and
a Media Center Extender. Running the Network Performance Monitor
displays your network bandwidth in real time, so you can see the effects
of moving the position of your router or its antennas as you make
changes.
Testing your network with the automatic test
A brief automatic test can be run from within the Network Performance
Tuner. This automatic test measures the available network bandwidth
between your Computer and your Media Center Extender for a short
period of time. This test checks whether video transmitted over your
home network will have quality problems that would be noticeable
when watching live or recorded TV through your Media Center Extender.
When the test is complete, it indicates if any potential problems exist or
if network performance is acceptable for streaming TV use.
Note: Successful testing does not guarantee against future performance
problems. The test runs only for a short time, and non-dual-band wireless
networks are susceptible to occasional interference from a variety of
sources, including 2.4-GHz cordless phones, microwave ovens, nearby
wireless networks, and other potential influences
