ETHERNET vs WIRELESS CONNECTION
Now that you have your BTVi3 Box turned on, you are ready to set up your Internet
connection. The only thing to figure out now, is how do you want to set up your
connection? With the BTVi3 Box, you have two options. One option is to use a wired
connection with an Ethernet cable. The other option is to connect wirelessly. For the
best Internet connection with the most optimal streaming capabilities, we recommend
using a wired connection. This ensures a direct connection from your router to your
BTVi3 Box without interference which could happen with a wireless connection. The
only drawback to a wired connection, is that it limits where you can have your BTVi3
Box to its proximity to where your router is located. If this is an issue for you, you may
be better off with a wireless connection. This gives you the freedom to connect your
BTVi3 to any TV of yours, regardless of where your router is located. As mentioned
before, the drawback to a wireless connection is a loss in signal quality. This is due to
fluctuation of the signal as it travels over-the-air. You can test which connection works
best for you by using the “Ookla Speed Test” application on your “My Apps” screen.
STEP 1:
