So we finally cut the cord. Went with Hulu + Live TV. It's been about a month and we don't miss all of the channels we never watch on Cox cable. Hulu pretty much has all of the channels we want. I did go with an upgraded modem and then added a Meshforce whole home wifi system with 3 pods. So far we have had no issues with connectivity, only issue has been our inexpensive Vizio smartcast tv needs to be power cycled about every 3 days. I think that is more a tv issue than network issue.
My question for the gurus out there is, I currently have all 3 of my smart TV's connected via wifi, one of my wireless pods is right by the living room tv, if I connect via ethernet to this pod instead of wifi, will I improve my picture and streaming capabilities?
