Streaming Media Basics
For the optimal media streaming experience with the NeoTV Streaming Player, NETGEAR
recommends the following:

quality. For high-quality video and audio, a connection of least 2.5 Mbps is required, and
for HD 1080p movies 4.5 Mbps is recommended.

sometimes higher bandwidth is required to accommodate the
network packet lost.
You can test your bandwidth at one of the following sites:
