Wireless vs. Wired Devices
Many devices that work with myRTCtv have the option to use a wireless network (or WiFi) to connect to the internet. While wireless is often more convenient and aesthetically pleasing than a wired device, the latter o ers significant advantages. When it comes to high-quality video streaming, the best performance will always come from a wired Ethernetconnection. This option o ers faster speeds, lower latency (or bu ering), and a more reliable connection than WiFi. A wired connection also eliminates one more device to fight for bandwidth on your WiFi network.
Some of the recommended myRTCtv devices do not have an Ethernet port. However, an Ethernet adapter is available at many department and online vendors for around $15. This adapter connects to the device using a Micro USB port or something similar and provides an input for a wired Ethernet connection. Check the manufacturer’s support and product o erings on your chosen device for information about Ethernet and other accessories that might be available to enhance your viewing experience.
