    Puzzling speeds with WiFi, DLNA and a smart TV

    THanks for the reply! Good thinking material there. Hmmm! Honestly I dont know. I just assumed because everything was so close, signal must be good. Test layout it literally everything in one room - laptops on onw side of me on the sofa, router/s on the other side on a coffee table, TV 10ft...

    Puzzling speeds with WiFi, DLNA and a smart TV

    Bumpity Bump. Nearly a week and I'm still unable to make sense of this behaviour. Is anyone able to shed any light on why the TV would choose to receive at 70Mbps on 5G Wifi, when it is able to do at least 130Mpbs, when the source is also connected to WiFi and capable of 300Mbps +?

This varies under load - sometime showing breifly as low at 6.5Mbps , but that seems to be that case normally with all connections, including the laptop connections which are as fast as expected. The...

    Puzzling speeds with WiFi, DLNA and a smart TV

    Can, and have! Its a 10/100 port (at least thats what the router reports). I originally thought the same but like I said above - if it has the processing power to accept it when I have the laptop plugged into the router by ethernet (which it demonstrably does, I've clocked throughput at...

    Puzzling speeds with WiFi, DLNA and a smart TV

    Hi All. So I've been lurking around these forums for 3 weeks or so reading as I slowly set up my new quarantine zone aka home network, and I've finally run into a problem for which the search function hasn't availed me. So figured I should put my hat in the ring, see if anyone might be able to...
