WiFi extension for streaming

I’ve ditched the power line extender I was previously using- although there was really nothing wrong with it the mesh definitely maintains higher and more consistent network speeds. The only issue I have is with the mesh unit having to be rebooted once in a while.

Never use wifi to stream.  It will always be much inferior to hard wired.

People give advice on which wifi to get. that is good advice assuming you are ignoring the advice above which trumps all wifi recommendations.

Another vote for mesh network extenders. And even better, a long hard wire run from your modem starlight into streamer, if that’s possible. If you are thinking fiber, opt for that over wifi or mesh network extenders. Last thing you wanna do is plug your X1 into a power line ethernet extender 😳

I have heard some people say if your Wi-Fi network is being used by other people or your system is a long distance from your router you might be better off with a mesh system, but that’s all I got.  Best of luck. 

Google Mesh also allows you to prioritize your streaming device from the Google home app. Definitely a handy feature if you have other people competing for bandwidth.
