Streaming Media Basics

For the optimal media streaming experience with the NeoTV Streaming Player, NETGEAR recommends the following:

- Broadband Internet service. You need at least a 1.2 Mbps connection to watch movies instantly on the NeoTV Streaming Player. The faster your connection, the better the quality. For high-quality video and audio, a connection of least 2.5 Mbps is required, and for HD 1080p movies 4.5 Mbps is recommended.

Note: Streaming quality also depends on the Internet connection quality, sometimes higher bandwidth is required to accommodate the network packet lost.

You can test your bandwidth at one of the following sites:

www.speakeasy.net/speedtest

www.speedtest.net

Or you can sign up for VUDU services and run Network Speed Test under setting.

- Network connections. You can connect your NeoTV Streaming Player to your broadband Internet connection using a wired or wirelessly (Wi-Fi) connection. You might need a network router or access point if your cable or DSL modem does not have free ports or wireless support.

- Internet access through your network. The NeoTV Streaming Player connects to the Internet through your home network using either a wireless connection or, if you prefer, an Ethernet cable. For wireless connections, the NeoTV Streaming Player follows the Wi-Fi standard and is compatible with 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n networks—the most common Wi-Fi networks, depending on your specific model. The NeoTV Streaming Player also supports wireless security, including WEP, WPA, and WPA2.
