Previously a satellite hookup that was worthless. With this setup we can stream to our TV without buffering. But, there are times when the wifi is full strength but there is no data on it. We get alerts on our phones and TV when that happens. You have in the transmission world a carrier, and then you have data that resides on that carrier. You can lose that data and retain the carrier because the carrier is always there, but the internet provider sending that data to the provider has a problem and can no longer send the data.In the transmission world (back in my day anyway) there are channels, groups, super groups and so on that are there to carry the data on top of the transmission frequency that was on that particular frequency. We run on to this all the time while in the RV at campsites. They advertise Wi-Fi but in actuality they buy a home unit and think it will supply enough bandwidth to feed a hundred RV's that will be trying to stream from it. They don't understand how it works.</blockquote>
