Hi @Fred-SN25 

 

If you have margnial signal or poor speeds then yes. However remember to turn wifi off in the settings on the puck and reboot it otherwise it will try to default to WiFi.

 

You can test the speeds your puck is getting via netflix (left hand menu > get help > connectivity check).

 

I have a mix of glass devices on ethernet and WiFi without issues.
