Awesome video thanks. I would need a 8/10 metre LAN CABLE TO GET TO MY TV. would it still be a better signal. As lots of times the tv is buffing and not clear pictures

I’m a home custom home builder in fl. We only run cable to the router/ office, in new construction, and a phone line to one location. Everything else is wireless including all televisions. I know it seems odd, but that is definitely the way to go,

I have a rv and want to get WiFi from from the office of the rv camp. It is about 200 ft away. What is the best way to increase the signal strength to my iPad?

What happens when we connect straight cable instead of crossover cable.

[JZsMK.]

If you have Wi-Fi and ethernet hooked up to a TV will it automatically pick the better signal strength?

[beverlyrw.]
