[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 563705"] As an FYI, under the right circumstances a hard wired connection is not necessary. Last season I used a new notebook computer with a wireless connection via a new $70 Belkin N router...no problems at all with the NFL site's streaming. In fact, since buying this equipment in May 2013, I cannot recall a single instance of buffering pauses from any source. I should note that in my household there is rarely more than one device at a time accessing the router. NFL.com recommends an internet connection with a minimum 2.0 Mbps, as you suggested, for "highest quality video": [url]http://preseason.support.nfl.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=363149&SPID=44851&DB_OEM_ID=22900&ATCLID=205437547[/url] My experience is based on an advertised 15 Mbps speed which often runs at about half that. Note the computer requirements are not particularly robust. Here's a way to test one's download speed: [url]http://www.cnet.com/internet-speed-test/[/url] For the less technically inclined, divide the result by 1000 to get Mbps (megabits per second). [/QUOTE]
