They do that shit on purpose. Use a shield or an htpc. Only input your TV should be getting is HDMI.
Comment on But my WiFi is just fine!

If your TV vendor decides to only put 100Mb cards in their TV then unfortunately spikey boy wins and you lose unless you’re willing to downrez your AV catalog.

Hell no! Only DVI or DisplayPort. No money to patent trolls!
MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
From a signaling perspective, they’re very very similar. Given that all TVs have HDMI, it may be the only option.
uis@lemmy.world 1 year ago
DVI? Yes, basically HDMI is DVI guarded by patent trolls. DisplayPort? No, it is packet-based.

Discovered this on a laptop after running the cable. Wifi was getting 250mbps vs 10/100 speeds

A TV I mean why not, but on a Laptop? Is it from the nineties O_o ?

My canon ink tank type printer from mid COVID era is the same, didn’t realise it was only 10/100 on the wired port until I was looking at the switch one day and wondered why I had a yellow light instead of green, was about to run a new network cable until I checked the printer
Valmond@lemmy.mindoki.com 1 year ago
I guess you have to have a very particular workload, and printer, to need a gigabit line…
Right?
MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Printers really don’t need even 100mbps though. They’re just not fast enough to spit out the prints your sending even at those speeds. So I get it.

Could be something wrong with a cable? A damaged cable can downgrade your connection from gigabit to 100mb
MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Or to 10mbps, half duplex. I’ve witnessed this. My former company was trying to sell a client a new server because it was too slow when I noticed it was only operating at 10/half, instead of the 1000/full that both it and the switch was capable of. Some testing later, and the problem was at the server side cable termination, a quick re-termination and they were up to gigabit. Grabbed a spare run to the switch and connected another cable after verifying it was good and the company went from 10M/half to a LAG of 2000/full in the matter of about an hour.
The speed complaints stopped.

Is that why my shit keeps buffering any time I try to stream a movie larger than 50-60 GB, despite the fact that I have a gigabit connection and a 2.5Gb router? TIL. BRB, running some speed tests on my TV…

It’s been 9 hours, how did it go?
SwagGaribaldi@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I don’t understand how it’s acceptable for $2,000 TVs to have only 100 mbps ports, wouldn’t it only cost a few cents per unit to upgrade?
DavidGA@lemmy.world 1 year ago
What the hell are you watching that has a bitrate of >100Mb? Because unless you have a 16K television I suspect the answer is nothing.
funktion@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I have a 4k blu-ray remux of Misery that has a 104 Mpbs bitrate. But there are only a couple of movies in my collection that break 100. Most of my remuxes are around 50 to 70.
Anyhoo it’s all moot in terms of network speed since I just use a htpc to play all of them.
andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun 1 year ago
I have plenty with higher bitrate audio that can hit 80. And with the overhead of the rest of the connections, and possibly just some limits on the chipset for TCP overhead etc, it starts stuttering around that 80mbps limit.
WaterWaiver@aussie.zone 1 year ago
80MBit/s audio? How?
For reference: 2x channels of 16-bit 48KHz raw uncompressed PCM audio (ie “perfect except maybe the noise floor under very very specific circumstances”) is about 1.5MBit/s. Even if you go 96KHz 6 channels (5.1 setup) 24bit uncompressed PCM then it’s only 14MBit + overheads.
andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun 1 year ago
The audio isn’t 80Mbps, the entire file is. The audio is TrueHD7.1, though. I probably don’t need it but I haven’t bothered transcoding it yet because I’m not exactly out of space or bandwidth.
