Solid read (or possibly amber) light on the Nighthawk X10 router.
Hi, I'm new here,-and although I've found an answer to my question regarding other, older routers, i need a confirmation on this regarding my new Nighthawk X10-router: On two of the ports (number...
the Dreamtv Mini 4K has a 10/100mbps connection built into it. not 1gig. The router detects that and that's why that's what the light is.
It can't connect faster than 10/100mbps because the box isn't rated higher. More than likely the blu-ray player is the same. Not 100% because you didn't put a model number.
Reason why?
most streaming content doesn't need super high speeds to reliably stream. 4k content usually maxes out around 25-40mbps. And with devices being hardwired in, 100mbps connection still provides those speeds plus some.
Plus wired speeds don't have to worry about interference or network overhead. So that 100mbps connection is going to hit 90-95mbps pretty reliably. Versus wireless isn't that.

OK, thanks for a great explanation, I didn't get the logics out of it myself, bit that explained it well.
Thank you very much!
