Do these slow your wifi bandwidth (download speed) for other connected network devices like Roku etc ?

Hola Deepa, till now the wifi is it working very well with the camera, it seems works better with a wifi access point not with a wifi router.

It doesn't slow things that I have noticed but we're not streaming video. It's a pretty low resolution @480p so don't think it should cause a problem.

The installation was exclusively for the camera. There is no other device in the network at this moment. While testing there were two Iphones and a PC connected at the same time using the application with same results. Other cameras will be added in the future

I have not found that this interferes with any other network devices. It does not have any effect on streaming.

Should not need to buffer very much (except when switching stations). I am on slowish DSL also.

It all depends on the network...on my 3mbps home wifi, netflix works fine, very minimal loading time, no pauses for buffering and good quality...but if I'm on a public network or trying to piggyback on my next door neighbors' wifi (they gave me the password! sometimes at&t; goes down and they have comcast.) then it can be a struggle to get videos to load at all, much less play smoothly. But I don't think the device itself has any particular limitations as to what videos it can stream.

they are not amplifying a wireless signal. they distribute a "wired" ethernet port across your home's electrical wiring. any place you have an electrical outlet can become an ethernet port. actually, a pair of them. i tried 2 different wireless routers to distribute netflix and similar services throughout my 3,200 sf 2 story home. i always had problems connecting and staying connected. this product solved the problem with excellent results!

I'm not sure I fully understand your question but if you want technical information I can't help you. What I can tell you is that this device makes all the difference in the world for anything you are trying to stream. I used to have several dead spots on the 2nd floor of my house. Accessing the internet simply did not work well or work at all. Now there is no problem. Now there are no slowdowns, no buffering, no disconnects, everything works just as good as if you were sitting at the main computer.

Many things can affect the performance of your unit. These things can relate to the capabilities of the units wifi hardware, user configuration or even locatioin of your wireless solution. My wife loves hers so much, she watches her recorded shows on it and it never drops. All be it - all internal wifi communication but on the internet, I have not heard her complain either.Sorry to hear you are having issues with it. Check out google for optimizing wifi communications for more ideas.

No. My wifi gives me very steady connection. It could be a problem of your wireless router.

I'm pretty sure they are just 100Mb ethernet. The single port bridge connects to my router at that speed. 100Mb is fast enough to stream to and between my TiVo boxes.

No, it does not effect my wifi. We also have a wifi extension because our wifi only go so far. This device does not effect the wifi extension either.

Get a better internet connection and use a Ethernet wired connection to go on-line (no WiFi). Had the exact same issues until I discovered that my standard Time Warner standard internet connection was barely able to keep up with the HD bandwidth requirement and my WiFi signal was only average due to the router being on the other end of the house. This resulted in many frequent video breakups and rebuffering episodes, which was annoying to say the least and discouraged watching online content. Broke down and pulled CAT6 cabling throughout the house, and upgraded Time Warner to Turbo level to get close to 20Mbs vs. the standard 10Mbps. A one time pain, but it makes all the difference in the world. Will never go back to using WiFi again except for basic web surfing on the laptop. Also, using the right router can make or break the difference. I got rid of my Time Warner provided WiFi integrated router to a dedicated Cisco small business router. Huge difference, and can now run gigabit, which far exceeds the requirement of what my Samsung TV & BluRay requires.

No. As far as I could tell while I had this device, there's no way to dedicate one of the bands to communicating with the primary router preventing the immediate 50% loss in bandwidth. The previous answer of "yes", I believe, was confusing the fact that this device is dual-band, but that is not what the question asks. Other manufactures call this Boost Band or Fast Lane technology. I found nothing like this in any of the settings of this device.

I don't know of any special down load but I have noticed on some of larger down loads you need to be where their is strong internet connections I have had some down loads that I attempted to load in some local out of my house wi fi hot spots and the download failed but when tried at home with stronger connection it downloaded

No, but depending on how many devices are connecting to your WiFi sometimes it is better to connect directly with a Ethernet cord for video streaming this also depends on your internet speed.

Is the box on a wired connection, because if not it is sharing WiFi with all the other devices in your home. This can cause the slower speeds.

I noticed the closer to the router the speed was faster. You might want to consider moving the router closer to the location you are watching the streaming.

I haven't experienced that specific issue myself. My area is much smaller so most of the time if I start getting slower signal I have to manually switch to the stronger network.

How many devices are you running on the router? Did you configure it with the intellistream enabled? This can improve your performance. If you have to many devices running on the Wi-fi it can impact the bandwidth each device running will slow things down.
