Not sure that a newer router would improve my wired situation.Press Release: NETGEAR Collaborates with Intel to Launch TV Adapter for Intel Wireless Display, an Intuitive and Easy Way to View Entire Laptop Screen on HDTV Wirelessly Fortunately, the house came wired, CAT5-ready, and I have taken advantage of that throughout the house.Īll this is not to say that a newer router could not improve things more, and if this was a wireless house I would step up to wireless.n. My experience with wireless over many years is, if you cannot get an excellent to very good signal strength consistantly, you are better off wired. Whenever I use wireless, the results are the same with WDTV as wired: excellent. Since my network is all wired, the internal speed of the router’s 100mbps is still fine. (BTW, I was lucky to get 20mbps before the modem upgrade.) Basically, if you want an Internet connection speed above 15mbps, the modem has to have the guts to do so hence the DOCCIS 3 modem upgrade. The old router was helped along last year when I replaced the Linksys modem with a new DOCCIS 3 modem from Motorola.

It continues to provide excellent Internet bandwidth of usually 30mbps (even though I pay Comcast for 20mbps minimum). I speak up to defend my o’l trusty WRT54G router and its brethren. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Also I used to get yellow and green LED inicator lights on the Netgear adapter for wifi connectivity (green being good, yellow poor and red being bad), now it goes from yellow to red. I checked my network and verified that the DNS address is the same. When I check the network connection on the WD TV Live Plus I get a green check on the IP Address but an error on the DNS Server setting. After that choppy video streaming again so I changed the settings back to Auto. I changed my network adapter setting to run a 100 Mbps FULL and that worked like a charm for a few days. Other times the videos freeze every 10 seconds. I can stream 720p 4GB movies with no problem at times. I can see my shared hard drives on my nework with no problem. It thinks it’s an ethernet LAN connection. I run Windows 7 and have a Linksys WRT54G router.įirst let me say that I can’t get the adapter to show up on my WD TV Live Plus as a wireless adapter. I wanted to know what other users have done to increase the quality of streaming video on thier network with this device. I recently purchased a Neatgear WNCE2001 Universal Wifi Adapter to be used with my WD TV Live Plus.
