Have a bulletproof network and Serviio works

TL;DR check hardware during serviio problem
So I was watching serviio, trying to, and getting cut off at maximum 30 seconds all day today. Turns out the new router I got is programed by the isp to speed throttle when it detects a nat or hardware firewall. It not only throttles wan but the lan speed and it was ruining serviio. Log said websocket disconnect or something like that over and over when playing this:
I put the dhcp pool on a different subnet and that seems to have fooled it enough to get back the speed I pay for but ffs. My point is check out your hardware. The sad thing is this equipment was major upgrade for me just didn't count on being throttled without my knowledge and messing up my movies.
Serviio had a few problems in the beginning but now the only time I have a problem its on my end, something broken in the network that needs to be replaced or some chicanery like above.
If Serviio doesn't work all the sudden, start checking cables and the player and the host software and try and find out.
