Faster is always better. What quality are you and your daughter each watching? SD quality requires the least, while 4K requires the most. Also if you are recording a show and watching another show, that needs more. 5 MB per stream is recommended. Browsing the net on computer also counts as use.

Thanks, I will double-check our Netflix settings to make sure they are not running at 4K. Tablo is set to second highest 1080 setting. Still trying to figure out if there are settings to be made for ethernet or if once you connect the cable it is done.

It has to do with the total amount of bandwidth you are paying for and how much is being used at the same time. I pay for 200 down 10 up, I run everything wireless. I have top of the line cable modem and top of line router. I use cat 6 to connect cable modem to router. I use internet while streaming and no problems. When I do speedtest, I get more than I pay for.

That does correct a major misconception here. Thanks. My streaming device is a new Roku Streaming Stick + which is plugged into one of the HDMI ports on my Samsung TV, so it is using wireless. I guess I will try disconnecting the ethernet cable and see if there is additional buffering. I will also investigate the specs on the modem/router I bought from my ISP. I know there is a solution out there but being new to this corner of the tech world not sure how long it will take to find.

Here is what I found... Releasing the DHCP lease on the router will release the old IP address. It should then it pick up a new IP address. I did this until I got an IP address outside of that IP block. I also temporarily disabled the firewall within the router.

I am receiving the same error code from Netflix as well: Error code M7037-1101. All other sites work correctly except Netflix (including Youtube for me). But on my Fios home network, I cannot connect through the new STB option, computer or phone. However, Netflix works perfect when I turn the WiFi option off and stream through my LTE connection. It appears Fios has blocked or throttled Netflix.

Thanks for your suggestions. I have been working with Verizon tech support in the past a couple of days to solve this problem. They have done what can be done including reboot ont, router, etc., and even sent me a new gateway router.

I am having the same issue. Tried everything with no resolve. The interesting thing is that I can watch YouTube and Netflix via my computers but not through smart TV or mobile devices connected to wifi.

Thanks guys. I'm at a loss. Any attempts to connect to Netflix through any device on my network appears like it is blocked, behind a proxy. The Set Top Box shows the red Netflix on black screen and the loading symbol just spins. The laptops and phone pull only text, no images or graphics appear. If I turn WiFi off on my phone and use the LTE, Netflix instantly pulls in all of the info and graphics and works normally. All other sites I have tested seem to work completely fine. I have rebooted the ONT, router, devices, etc as mentioned to no avail. Any thoughts to be able to even explain this to a Verizon support person?

Having the same issue here in pittsburgh. Youtube works occasionally from my macbook, not at all on phone/ipad. No netflix at all. Pulls up fine when not on my home wifi. If verizon doesnt acknowledge this or find a fix I'm switching ISPs. This is ridiculous.

Agreed, it has been very hard. I do have a help ticket into Verizon which they are looking into this issue. I have sent them our tracert results and they do believe it is a bigger problem. They looked at it today but have said they will have something in 48 hours.

I experienced the same issue (with similar traceroute results) around the same time, also in Pittsburgh, PA. I believe it was resolved around the same time as well. The issue has resurfaced for me, as of this evening. I contacted both Netflix and FiOS when I first experienced the issue. I followed all recommended troubleshooting steps, but nothing helped. Both services blamed the other party. The issue resolved itself (earlier this month) with no action or changes on my end. I'm prepared to switch ISPs at this point.

I have the same issue in pittsburgh. The problem went away last week, then came back yesterday. Fios assures me they are not blocking, and claims the problem is on netflix's side. I find this dubious.

I have had in the past Netflix slowdowns when I had cable internet, and I called and they would blame my modem. However after unplugging my then modem and my router the speed returned. Was it Time Warner who said it was a Netflix issue, or Netflix who blamed Time Warner and my devices.

I currently have an Uniti Star with Spendor A4 and stream music via Wifi. I use Tidal (CD quality), Qobuz (High Res) and Amazon music (via Airplay). I sometimes wonder if I should connect the router to the Uniti Star directly with an Ethernet cable but as I have wooden floorboards I have avoided doing this. Is Wifi OK for this set? Would I notice any sound improvement with Ethernet?

The reason I ask also is I went to audition at a high end hifi dealer and asked him if they were using Ethernet or wifi and he said wifi. They sold speakers costing about 90k which made me think if they are using wifi it should be ok?

Last night (using wifi) with Qobuz HD I noticed a few audio dropouts on a couple of albums and I thought this may be due to wifi? However later in the evening after about 10.30pm no issues. This morning also no issues at all. So if there is an issue with Wifi is it audio dropouts I would get (as I described) or is it a deterioration in sound quality (eg theoretically listening 96kHz 24bit but not actually getting that).

I do have a spare Ethernet so I could do a back to back comparison. I did try this briefly some weeks back and did not at that time pick up any differences (that I could here - unless you tell me I should listen to something in particular?)

This raw required music data rate can be approx. halved to account for FLAC compression of the Qobuz files. But one has to add comfortable margins for network control traffic, error correction, resending of packets, etc. Even if we double the data rate for this again, which is a very safe margin, we are only back to no more than 10 mbps.

The possible data rate of wifi is variable depending on congestion on the wifi spectrum, like other devices on your network or other wifis networks in the vicinity, but if you get these 70 mbps consistently, it should be more than fine. You also need to ensure that both the wifi and the internet connection has sufficient bandwidth for music streaming in addition to any possible other parallel users like someone watching Netflix or TV over IP, gaming, etc.

Assuming that you have your Wi-Fi network working perfectly, the quality of the SQ can depend on the implementation of the Wi-Fi network adapter of your streamer, for instance it can inject noises to your DAC.

As pretty much already said on here, any wifi with a solid 10mbps is going to be good. Cable is fine if you are close to the router but can be a pain if you have to make runs halfway round the house.
As we all on here obsess about introduced noise and pay hundreds if not thousands for mains cables, interconnects and even network cables hand soldered by vestal virgins trained in the art, I would go for wifi over hard wired.

Nevertheless when I was installing trunking that carried different cables I had the choice of screened ethernet cable or screening in the trunking. I chose the latter partly as I already had the ethernet cable.

I may be missing something here, but... I've just bought a 4K OLED "Smart" TV, however I can't stream anything in 4k. I have the network speed to support it, but the wifi is too unstable (but fast enough) and the ethernet is too slow. Analiti shows that on Wifi I get about 160mbps and on Ethernet only about 20 (it's a gigabit switch with cat6 cable)

It's all NIC/speed related; no errors. When I force 4K (YouTube) it will play, but it will spend more time buffering than playing. I can stream the same 4K content on my PC (connected to the same gigabit switch) no problem with no buffering. I can also stream the same 4K content on my PC via the same wifi network with no buffering issues.

I have a kd75 xf9005 and I can watch online streaming 4k from netflix and amazon fine. However if I try and watch videos via my home network they judder and sometimes stop altogether. It only happens with large 45-60gb 4k 24fps (40-60 Mbps) movies. I have tried wired and wireless 5g, neither work very well. 5g is slightly better.

Hi,
The same problem. I have KD-55AG9 TV, conectly directly with Gigabit Ethernet, but the maximun speed of this port is fast Ethernet (100 Mbps). The result is that I try to view any 4K content from my NAS and the movies are "keeps buffering" and "jumping".
I try to use any APK like VLC, MX Player, etc... and Nothing.
Netflix, Amazon, HBO and Other APKs play perfect, but the streaming from my NAS when I use 4K "Big Files" (40Gbytes or more) are Horrible.
The only solution (Worst Solution) is use 1080p Movies (With low frame rate - 5 Gbytes of size) in these cases the movies playing perfect with whatever APK (VLC, MX..)
It's a shame that one spensive TV have and FastEthernet port instead of GbE Port..and is a shame like I need to use and external Chinese android appliance connect via HDMI to my TV for watch 4K Remux content from my home network .

I'm a software developer, and I work remotely, which means that connectivity on board has always been a top priority. As we moved onto the boat in early 2021 the promise of ubiquitous internet via Starlink was little more than a hope and a prayer, but by mid-2022 we managed to take delivery of our very own dish.
