 Was in a pickle last night,I cleaned and dusted (at wife’s insintance) around 65 inch Samsung in bedroom. Came to bed, no picture, fuzz, seems I knocked something off. Finally figured it out,pressed source and got back to HDMI DTV MODE,Whew! Went to stream,no internet, maybe it’s the router? No I say I’ve got internet on my IPHONE. FINALLY AFTER hunt and peck, found out WI-FI password had dissapered, Viola, Streaming City. I’ll tell you guys, this old Cajun isn’t equipped for this💩! Wi-Fi comes with issues that you don't have with ethernet. That's why I use the AC line adapters. House before last I wired with Cat 5. How does that work? Is the signal clean? It's running over your electric wire. I heard some folks do this, but not sure how good it is. |

It's running over your electric wire. I heard some folks do this, but not sure how good it is. I find it much better than Wi-Fi, but it usually is a little fussy to get it working. But once it's up it's like a wired network. There can be issues with different circuits and you only find out after you get it installed. We have a TV on the other side of the wall from the main router and Wireline adapter and we get nothing, but it's a converted garage so there is a circuit issue. But the other 2200 sq ft get great service. Our house is very long and spread out. I had to run a cable through the wall to the system on the other side. |

I'm not an expert, so really can't explain that. But, for example, I have Comcast Cable from the house to the ISP (also Comcast Cable), so it's fibre from the house. My internal network goes through one transfer point, the router. Going onto he internet, you go through router, modem, and several transfer points to get to any server. On the internet you are also competing for traffic with millions of other people. If I do a speed test from my computer, I get 700 mbps on my Lan, and 137 Mbps for download speeds. Upload speeds are always slower, but I get 14 Mbps there. You can contractually increase upload and download speeds with your ISP by paying higher rates, but the speeds I get are pretty common for a higher level of service. If you re getting 900 mbps download speeds I am impressed. But it's more likely that's your internal LAN speed in your home, not your ISP download speed. The ISP has no control over your internal LAN speed. They can only control the speed from the ISP to the Modem. I pulled the following off the internet for some general info:Gigabit internet speeds are often considered the gold standard for internet users, as they can support an unlimited number of devices and users. You can shop gigabit speeds with internet service providers (ISPs) that offer fiber-optic and co-axial cable connections. 2 Gbps, or 2,000 Mbps, is currently the highest speed offered by any major provider. Streaming in HD uses 25 mbps. Yea, so my ISP will be delivering 900Mbps download to the modem/router for distribution across the house. So WiFi takes a chunk of that as each devices uses bandwidth, but even if there's one device on it, the max WiFi speeds are apparently around 300Mbps max. However, with a hardwired ethernet connection, you get the stated 900Mbps download. |

As I mentioned before, I ran an office with 33 users on a 100mbps connection until we could get faster connectivity. 90% of the work was Web based. Of course we had the best routers and such and it really makes a difference. |

If you have 900 mbps download speeds, you pretty much have the best available as there is only one major ISP that offers anything above that. Cool. If you want am Ethernet wire to support your 900 down, you need to get at least Cat5E ethernet cable. I stumbled on this page on the internet which provides pretty interesting data on Ethernet cable. www.stl.tech/blog/what-are-cat7-cables/ |

Cheers. That's useful information. And yes, Ron, I really don't need 900Mbps at all...but I'm greedy for speed. Plus it's not costing me any extra for the privilege.

Was in a pickle last night,I cleaned and dusted (at wife’s insintance) around 65 inch Samsung in bedroom. Came to bed, no picture, fuzz, seems I knocked something off. Finally figured it out,pressed source and got back to HDMI DTV MODE,Whew! Went to stream,no internet, maybe it’s the router? No I say I’ve got internet on my IPHONE. FINALLY AFTER hunt and peck, found out WI-FI password had dissapered, Viola, Streaming City. I’ll tell you guys, this old Cajun isn’t equipped for this💩!
