NCC Video User Guide

6 Wireless vs. Wired Devices Many devices that work with NCC Video have the option to use a wireless network (or WiFi) to connect to the internet . While wireless is often more convenient and aesthetically pleasing than a wired device, the latter offers significant ad- vantages. When it comes to high-quality video streaming, the best performance will always come from a wired Ethernet connection. This option offers faster speeds, lower latency (or buffering), and a more reliable connection than WiFi. A wired connection also eliminates one more device to fight for bandwidth on your WiFi network. Some of the recommended NCC Video devices do not have an Ethernet port. However, an Ethernet adapter is available at many department and online vendors for around $15. This adapter connects to the device using a Micro USB port or something similar and provides an input for a wired Ethernet connection. Check the manufacturer’s support and product offerings on your chosen device for information about Ethernet and other accessories that might be available to enhance your viewing experience.
