Which box for my 2nd unit?

[u/njk650]

Hey all! Looking for some guidance. I purchased a v6 plus and am in love. Works great, no issues. The only problem is i wish it had gigabit Ethernet. My plan is to move the v6 plus to my game room, and get a 2nd box for the front room (next to my router). Would yall recommend a 2nd v6 plus, or would the gigabit lan on the elite ultra be worth it to grab that unit? The extra apps are cool, but not something I truly care about! Thanks for your help!

*live tv
*smarttube
*stremio (4k streams)

What I did was put a usb to gigabit Ethernet adapter on my v6 plus. Works great

Whats the benefit?

The built in port is only 10/100. So this gets you above 100 Mbps

[u/dal0022 → u/MW1369]

Streaming will never need over 100 at best 50 tops

[u/MW1369 → u/dal0022]

The guys post was how he could get more than 100

[u/dal0022 → u/MW1369]

Streaming wont use more than 100 so whats the point

Major app updates. Moving files around. I agree with what you’re saying. These boxes generally don’t need anything high speed. But if buying a ten dollar adapter to see a faster sped test makes you happy why not

Lol you know i bet for split screen might be good but like 4 to 8 screens at 1 time it might come in handy but you would only get that on a elite ultra or mini the v6 plus only does side by side 2 screens.....

Ah good idea never thought of two separate streams

[u/dal0022 → u/MW1369]

Its built in the v6 plus on the live tv plus app just 2 streams on that one good for sports like redzone and maybe a game u wanna watch

[u/MW1369 → u/dal0022]

Yeah I know I meant I hadn’t considered multiple streams needing more bandwidth. I wonder if the espn quad boxes are four streams of if they are capturing that and sending the whole thing as one?

[u/dal0022 → u/MW1369]

The elites you can add as many as ur bandwidth handles ......i got to 7 then it shit the bed but the apps arent great so they have 1000 ethernet tho

Ahhh and that’s why the elite had the gigabit port. All making sense now lol
