Yes that will work. If you use a wired connection via the network jack on this unit your network response time will be better and you'll find the responsiveness of the media apps to be fine. More speed will give you better streaming, but this unit will accommodate many internet connectivity rates. Ultimately though it is up to the channel providers to code their channel apps to be "tolerant" of low bandwidth connections. So while the roku hardware is great, a poorly designed app from the channel store may only work reasonably when it is connected to a fast enough connection to the web. In my experience a slow connection will simply just take longer to initially buffer or in Netflix's case, they'll step-down the stream quality to get your film playing quickly while increasing quality over time.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You need at least 8 MBit/sec for 4K material, and around 3 MBit/sec for 1080p material. Best double-check your Internet speed via, for example: https://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ For streaming media, only the download speed is relevant. It looks like you are have FiOS -- If so, you're fine with any Roku 4.
