WiFi vs Ethernet

[Super+Anthony]

@Floydianslip Using one from my provider

@Super+Anthony 

Worth considering investing in your own router, I gave up on ISP provided routers three years ago and haven't looked back. My WiFi is very stable and my router (Asus AX6000) covers the entire house , connecting 4 pucks,without the need for mesh systems or boosters. 

Worth trying imho.

My router is fine though. I have 500 daily at present. The question was really whether I should change from the Ethernet to using the WiFi, but thank you though

Have you tried it yet ?

If your WiFi connection is robust and without issues, and an Ethernet cable is  inconvenient, use WiFi😉

Yes! The less cables and clutter the better for me ....

It isn't about the speed your router is capable of, it's about the range of the WiFi signal your router is capable of.

.... and that depends on the construction of the property😉

Thank you for all your help

Will stick to my Ethernet. No need to change. I have a top of the range router and it's also next to my TV and puck 

[Super+Anthony]

Still having issues that the puck freezes on either the TV menu, the channel or anywhere else. My speeds are fine. 90 via Ethernet and 500 via WiFi. I have also spoken to my broadband provider and they have said everything is fine with the tests.. There must be a software issue that is needed. Also it's not just me that it's happening to and I know some of my friends have same issue and people on here

Also my router is next to the puck and both are next to the TV

I love the stream system and hopefully the tech team can do an update. Sky have been very helpful on the phone

Have you ran a speed test via the Netflix app? Because those speeds you're quoting are not to the Puck because it's technically impossible for the Puck to have a 500mbps WiFi connection as it's only a 100mbps network adapter... 

[Super+Anthony]

Yes I have, that's why I included them. Thank you though. On the WiFi it's come up with 497 speed.

Thats the ethernet port that is capped at 100 mbps. Although the Glass/Puck won't use anything even close to 100 mbps so its possible to have a 500 mbps connection via WIFI from the puck but it will only use less than 10% of that available bandwidth.

@MarkGoldsmith Indeed, was about to write the same, but helpful as always
