Hi all. I have the original Vero. I’ve been looking at getting a NAS to stream my 4K Remux library but I’ve had a last minute thought: with the network port only being 100mbit in the Vero, will I be able to stream high bitrate files?
The Verok 4k+ has a Gigabit Ethernet adapter built-in
I don’t have the + model though. It came out shortly after I bought the previous model.
Sorry misread your post thought you were talking about buying the Vero not the NAS 
100Mbit with sharing via NFS should be fine for many files but surely some are upto 130 Mbit.
So your options would either be 5G Wireless or a USB Gigabit dongle.
A cheap USB gigabit adapter will substantially increase the network bandwidth on a regular Vero 4K, I run one myself. You could go through the aggravation of fstab mounting etc to maximise throughput on the built-in connector, but plugging in an adapter is much easier and gives lightning fast chapter skips/scrubbing through video.

Second this. There’s no need for fstab when a gigabit USB adapter will give you around 325Mbit.
I have all of my ripped movies on my WD NAS and every one plays without a glitch via the 100MB network. Everyone is a straight rip using MakeMKV with no re-encoding, just extra audio tracks and subs were removed.
I had a few buffer issues with Lucy over the 100Mbit connection on my original Vero 4K. I had no further issues when using a USB Gigabit adapter to give me 324Mbit on that same Vero 4K, and of course no issue when using the Vero 4K+ built-in gigabit.
Yep - I was in the same boat as @bmillham, thinking there was no 4K remux that could trip up my trusty Vero 4K but sadly there are some titles that will struggle at times over a 100Mbps link - the first Pacific Rim is one example (with an fstab-mounted NFS export from my GbE WD NAS). It gets into the high 90s at points which can cause network issues when sustained. If you try to skip/seek through/around these points the measured bitrate can spike well over 100…
Generally speaking from my experience, 4k remuxes should play perfectly with the built-in 100Mbps adapter from an fstab mount but for those edge cases I’d just go with an el-cheapo GbE USB NIC to avoid issues.
