Residential networking is essential for modern living, providing the foundation for internet access, communication, work, education, entertainment, and the integration of smart technologies into homes. It has become a critical component of daily life, connecting individuals to the broader world and enabling a wide range of activities and services.
Did you realize that websites vary in their streaming speeds? When coupled with internal network communications among devices, these factors represent just a couple of the considerations to keep in mind when establishing a smart home network.
Netflix: SD (720P) needs 3Mbps
HD (1080P) needs 5Mbps
Ultra HD 4K needs 15 Mbps
Hulu: SD (720P/1080P) needs 3 Mbps
Live Streams need 8 Mbps
Ultra HD (4K) needs 16 Mbps

Youtube: SD (720P) needs 2.5Mbps
