If that's what you honestly think, then you don't understand how logic works. You don't begin troubleshooting any problem by adding additional variables. It would be like solving a leaky roof by building a dome over the entire house. Yeah, it will stop the roof from leaking, but it's not the logical first step. The logical first step is to figure out what changed to make the roof go from not leaking to leaking. Do you buy an entirely new, upgraded engine for your car any time the check engine light comes on? Of course not. You try to figure out what changed to cause the check engine light to come on. There are probably hundreds of other examples that will outline why adding additional variables is never the first step to troubleshooting a problem. And for my specific example, hardwiring the Xbox does very little, if anything, to help my streaming on either of my TV's.
Hardwire the damn thing in, if it works, you know the problem isn't the wi fi or the machine, it's the path it's taking to get there.
whenever physically possible, it's just pure ole common sense to Ethernet connect a device in lieu of wifi, end of story
Wires can turn corners. You proabably can’t run through walls, but I doubt your apartment complex is going to get mad if you run cat5e on top of the baseboard. Just staple with insulted round cable staples every 3 feet, and go under the door jam in the space between the wood and the carpet, and came back up on top of the baseboard, and staple every 3 feet. Then just take it down when you leave.
BTW, I'm not sure if you guys know the actual pronunciation of wifi, but you say it like this in south Florida. Wee-Fee.
Ate lunch with a strange co-worker a month ago. He was trying to hit on the waitress. Asked her if they had any wiffy? After confusing the girl for 30 seconds he told her he was talking about Wi-Fi. She clearly indicated she didn't have time for that shit. Thanks to him, we had some really terrible service for the rest of the meal.
If you're game is on external hard drive it will download slow from xbox game store. Also, use fast.com instead of speedtest.net Fast is kept up by Netflix and is way more accurate than speedtest.
So it's been about 15 years or so since I bought new internet service, its accoutrements, and whatnot. Can someone help me out with the following? Would I have any need for a static IP address assuming I am an average consumer who surfs, streams stuff, and might play an online game every once in a while? It's an extra €7 a month. The best advertised service is billed as 60K kbps using VDSL technology. What kind of modem/Wi-Fi speed should I be looking at if I want to make maximum use of the service. The company has competitive prices on a couple of modem/router combinations, Fritzbox 7590 and 7530. The 7590 is rated at 1.733 (5GHz) and 800 Mbit/s (2.4GHz) and the 7530 at 866 Mbps (5 GHz) and 400 Mbps (2.4 GHz). The information on the 7530 indicates it's rated for up to 300 Mbps internet speed. Is there any reason for me to pay more for the higher end product? It seems that either would exceed the internet service provided. Any advice would be much appreciated.
You most likely don't need a static ip, unless you're hosting a public facing website or web app. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk
Average consumer stuff. I plan on doing nothing beyond surfing the internet, streaming movies, and possibly some online gaming via the Xbox. I had other plans years ago, but the market for nudefatdude.com probably won't keep me in Doritos money.
