NetFlix wired or wireless?
03-29-2012 06:44:07 PM
I am a U-Verse subscriber who would like to access NetFlix with whatever connectivity method will give me the best video-least hassle result. Available options appear to be wireless signal from 2Wire Gateway to Roku or other device, or USB from Gateway to house 110 V wires via Logitech Powerline or equivalent adapters then USB to Roku. Any and all views and suggestions will be appreciated.

If I'm not mistaken the USB port on the gateway is strictly for use with a computer without a network adapter.
I was not aware they had USB over powerline adapters, but I know they have ethernet over powerline adapters.
As far as what's better for streaming, IMHO a wired connection is always going to be better than wireless.
