I use one and it's pretty smooth. Depends on the connection though. Definitely needs wired connection.
Or a strong wifi network. I have a bunch of wired access points and was able to get really smooth streaming
Mine was never willing to work on WiFi, so it got put in a box for a while until I ran my own Ethernet cables all around the house. Now it's great!
It’s been so long since I used it that I can’t remember if I had it wired or wireless. I’ll have to break it out and try it again.
When I had it wireless it was inconsistent. Sometimes it was fine, sometimes unplayable.
I have lag even with wired connection.
Fair. It's not foolproof like that. All networks are not created equal and also different people may have different thresholds for noticing
Pretty sure the network is not the issue. Not sure what is, though. I suspect HiDPI or the GPU.
