Speed issues with Ethernet ports on E2000 router

[ Edited ]

Apologies, folks; looks like the contents of my original post did not make it to the forum; below is a summary of the problem.

============================================
Working Environment:
1TB eSATA drive with multimedia content attached to a PC running Windows 7 Home Premium, with Windows Media Player serving as a streaming server. PS3 Slim playing the multimedia stream, using native DLNA client. Both devices connected to a Linksys WRT-300N wireless router, over 100MBit/s wired connections. Both, PC & PS3, are set to 100Base-T on the Ethernet ports.
Issue:
I recently replaced the aging Linksys WRT-300N router with a brand new Cisco E2000 router; nothing else has changed. Now, the PS3 is experiencing jerks/jitters in playing the video streams. I suspect the E2000 is running the Ethernet ports on Auto, instead of fixing on 100Base-T, as the ports are 10/100/1000Base-T. I need confirmation on the same, and the method by which I can set the ports on the E2000 to 100Base-T.
============================================
Appreciate your help; thanx!
Kind regards:
Mansoor
P.S.: Apologies - the forum does not seem to be putting up my comments, thus the repeated posts. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Re: Speed issues with Ethernet ports on E2000 router

I don't think so that you can change the speed on the Ethernet ports of your router .

 

You can try to assign the Highest priority to the Ethernet port on which you have the PS3 connected using the QoS feature on the router under Application and Gaming .
