Your TV's Ethernet port might be slower than its Wi-Fi connection, but it actually doesn't matter
Many modern TVs come with Ethernet ports that are capped at 100Mbps, which is slower than the capabilities of Wi-Fi 6. Despite this limitation, the speed of the Ethernet connection is often sufficient for streaming high-quality content. Streaming services typically require bandwidth that falls well within the 100Mbps limit, making the speed difference less significant for most users.
- ▪Most modern TVs are equipped with Ethernet ports that support speeds up to 100Mbps.
- ▪Wi-Fi 6 can deliver speeds three to four times faster than the Ethernet port on these TVs.
- ▪Streaming services like Netflix and Disney+ require bandwidth that is well within the 100Mbps limit of the TV's Ethernet port.
