[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1349945, member: 38928"] Even with HD video streaming a 100mb ethernet connection direct to your router will be fine. In a home environment there's no benefit in switching to gigabit unless you shift lots and lots of large files around and time is an important factor. The switch to wired from wifi will often give a more reliable and robust connection and that's what will give you result you're after. Hopefully, once cabled, you'll be trouble free. I can, however, tell you that the O2 boxes are fairly poor at managing traffic particularly a combination of wireless and wired devices. If you still encounter issues once cabled you may want to consider a better qaulity router rather than an additional switch or hub. [/QUOTE]
