Don’t know if it will necessarily “solve” the issue entirely but it certainly makes a difference having a direct connection to router instead of (unstable) WiFi. Especially as it pertains to gaming because you’re using the upload capabilities to stream not download (like watching Netflix). Do a network test and see what your upload speeds are, for streaming at 4K on the video servers I use the minimum is 20mbps I have ATT fiber 100mbps down/upload and stream beautifully in 4K @ 30fps or 1080p @ 60fps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You need real WiFi coverage or go wired I think. But try as many of these tips along your quest: White Motorola Cable Modem max lanes up/down. Not on cable? Good luck. Ditch the stuff the provider gave you to rent. WiFi should be a 3 part or more mesh Dual Band separate from cable modem to fill the house, yard etc... Google mesh supports this and 36 devices! Replace ALL cables to Cat.6. You might have a cheap cat.3 or 5 or 5e. No 10/100 gear. Use 1Gig switches and routers. Use static Ethernet addresses. Check DNS is correct. Use router address first and add the two Google DNS addresses as secondary. Update firmware whenever. Check monthly. Don't change internet mtu or other default internet transport settings. Check firewall requirements if applicable. Add ports only if necessary beyond default. Try port fwd. if it's required. Anti virus kills life. Use webroot or any other non constant popup, identity protection crap. NO McAfee or Norton or whatever has glut functions. It steals time and produces lag. Scan your Windows computers if applicable for nasties on the devices that might spread. Run "Spybot Search&Destroy" weekly - it's free but help the fellow out with a donation. He'll provide you a great blacklist and offer to white list on new installs. Some of this has nothing to do with Tv's specifically. But try to keep things wired when able or someone will be trippin'. I have in my brick home office anywhere from 20 to 28 full time devices like 3 game consoles, two smart camera systems (15 cameras being recorded continuously even over WiFi at 10-30 fps), home automation, 3 smart Tv's, a mini T-Mobike cell tower, Alarming, Big printers, Solar Monitoring and 6 or more desktop and laptop computers and a 6ft. Data Center rack of servers (w/virtual computers) all using either WiFi/Wired or PoE cabling.. I get 22 GB/s constantly on a 40 GB plan. I watch Netflix in one room and Amazon Prime upstairs almost 18 hours a day without jitter or stutter. Even outside the brick my mesh WiFi is solid. All working together nicely. Add UPS to infrastructure to keep the backbone up on power loss will save you hours. Or one of your device's Ethernet port is damaged.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Being hard wired definitely speeds up connection. Definitely no loss of connection to the internet
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes this will work
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You have some serious bandwidth issues here. If your problem is only congested Wi-Fi then going with a cable direct to your router will solve your issue. However, if on top of that your router or your Internet connection doesn't support your bandwidth needs you would have to upgrade those as well.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Cables greatly improve streaming quality. I used to have buffering issues when starting a stream over wifi. Cat6 cables eliminated that issue. If it still persists I would look into your internet signal quality or tv settings
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It may solve half the problem. But if your router is the problem, and not just the fact that both of you are using high bandwidth, whom ever is on it may still have issues. I had to upgrade my router bc of streaming and dropping wifi issues.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
