X6 R8000

I just upgraded from the x4s to the x6. I have a home theater system with a receiver, tv, and xbox. I am getting the Xbox X and want to wire the xbox to the router. Question is do I wire the xbox, receiver or tv for the best quality? All
Components are purchased with in the last two years so it’s all 4K compatible. Or would it be best to try and hardwired all of it?

It’s all wireless now and when on Netflix I get periods of low signal which makes the picture very low quality so will being wired cure that?

Appreciate the help!

   It might.  It depends on what the actual problem is with the wireless
connection (or your Internet connection, or the router itself).

   It sounds as if you could run the experiment for the price of some
Ethernet cables, which would quickly provide an actual answer, as
opposed to any speculation (based on little actual evidence) which you
might get here.

Re: X6 R8000

So hooked it up and Netflix and YouTube will not completely download. Netflix sticks at 24% and youtube will show the Ad but not the actual video. This is when I go through the DVD player. When I go through tv it works!! Is there maybe a setting that needs to be changed in the dvd?

Hi Lnkdes,

 

Check with the DVD player manufacturer for any recommendation since youtube and netflix works with other device.
