Double your Internet Speed by changing 1 thing on your Smart TV!

How do you go from this to this by

changing

just one

thing

? How could I have had a

smart

TV forever? And I'm just discovering this now. If you're like me, when you bought

your

smart

TV you probably looked at

thing

s like size and 4k vs 8k, does it have roku or google tv? and of course the price probably assumes that since this is a smart tv it just connects to the

internet

which of course a smart tv is not but since you've set up

your

tv how much thought have you put into it in the way you connect to the Internet?

Personally, I haven't thought about it at all. I just followed the on-screen instructions and set it up and rarely looked back, I just assumed that Hey, sometimes the TV pays for itself and that's life, but there's actually a better way that smart TVs generally connect to the Internet. in two ways: it can be wireless or wired. Let's start with wireless, depending on when you bought your TV. Connect to Wi-Fi network at 2.4 gigahertz or 5 gigahertz or both, normally you choose 5 gigahertz because of course it is technically faster than 2.4 gigahertz and remember that 5 gigahertz can be faster, however, the TV should be placed near the router.

Since 5 gigahertz has a shorter range than 2.4 gigahertz, newer TVs are now connected to Wi-Fi 6, which is the latest evolution of Wi-Fi, while Wi-Fi works perfectly like any other Wi-Fi device on your network. It can suffer from instability and buffering as all the devices on the Wi-Fi network compete for that bandwidth. Okay, let's see what we're dealing with here, so right now the network and

internet

settings on my smart TV are currently connected to the wi-fi connection. fi to five gigahertz and we're going to do the

speed

test the old fashioned way. Yes, this is a simple app that you can download from the store on your TV, so 92.42 is a download and 56.92 is the upload.

It's okay, I'm perfectly acceptable. It's not too bad, so ideally connecting your smart TV to a wired LAN connection. A wired connection will give you not only the stability you want and maximum bandwidth for your network, but it will also allow you to disconnect the TV from the wireless network. fi, means it is a wi-fi device that consumes less bandwidth, so your other devices can also have a good improvement. Now let's go to settings, this time I'm going to disable my wi-fi and then connect my lan cable. because as we know when you plug something in you're supposed to get maximum

speed

from your network, maximum stability, let's see what difference this makes in the speed test, so plug the little sucker in and let's run that speed test again on my settings, there's my app, click on that and then click start and now you should get a nice fast connection, what do I get?

Well 30 70 90 I still kept 94 as download and then at least the uploads got a little better, why? What's really going on here? If you run the same speed test on your TV, you will notice that your TV is not getting the maximum speed you pay for with your Internet provider and that is because many TVs have a built-in network interface card that maxes out at 100 megabits. per second, so even if you have a 200 or 500 megabits per second internet package, the most you will get from your TV will still be one hundred, technically this is fine as something like Netflix only needs 25 megabits per second. for 4k streaming, but what if you do more with your smart TV than just watch Netflix?

I mean, you know your smart TV lets you do more than just watch movies. You can browse the web, you can stream and play online games. scroll through social media, you can download interactive workout apps and many more, and they all certainly want more bandwidth, so how do you get around that 100 megabits per second limitation? Just get one of these, let me introduce you to the Ethernet adapter. This is a USB 3 on one side and on the other side it has a Gigabit Ethernet port and now look what we're going to do: we're going to take this and plug it into the regular USB port on the back of the tv, click there, then we'll pull out the LAN cable from the back of the TV and we'll plug it directly into this adapter, let it click and then we'll run a good old speed test again, what scores do we have to pass well? the download was 94.61 and the upload was 97.36 that was without the adapter now we have the adapter there let's see what we will get okay and already check this 243.87 on the download and look at the upload 310 you will see how we use a simple adapter to get around that limitation , it's crazy the difference this little 11 year old can make.

I love when technology can be simple and effective, but while you wait for your adapter to arrive, watch this video here where I'll show you how to stop your Smart TV from spying on you. Yes, that's the point. Also check out this video that YouTube thinks you should watch. Hit the head here to subscribe and I'll see you in this video or in this video. See you both we go
