@Asemmons to explain a little more, to stream video in UHD the maximum data flow is around 30Mb/s that is all the TV can use so having more bandwidth available is unecessary it is also why the set only needs an ethernet port rated at 100Mb/s.

 

Ethernet is the preferred connection as it removes the risk of data not being delivered in order (known as jitter) which wifi can be prone to due to the signals suffering from interference. If you leave wifi networking on with ethernet connected the TV can on occasions connect using wifi and have issues especially if the wifi is at all dodgy.

@Asemmons 

There is almost certainly no benefit to doing so, and probably a significant downside, as @Chrisee indicates. Unlike Q boxes, Glass/Stream hardware doesn't attempt to do clever things with teaming links together, rebroadcast signal, act as 'hotspots' or form any kind of mesh distribution, and wasn't specified with the technology for any of this.
