    Terrible buffering

    Trying to watch a movie tonight and having major buffering problems at all video qualities. Ran the Vudu speed test and came up with this:

    Results
    Download Speed: 15430 kbps (15.4 Mbps)
    Upload Speed: 3980 kbps (4 Mbps)

    I have an ethernet cable that is able to reach the TV I was trying to watch the movie on (about 25 feet away) but would obviously prefer to watch it wirelessly and not have a cable running through my house every time I watch a movie. I'm not sure what causes this problem since my internet download speed is about 3x what is needed for HDX. Any help would be appreciated.

    After plugging in directly, you didn't see buffering? Or did you continue to see it whether it was wired or wireless?

      No buffering and instantly the video was HDX. I think that might just be the way to go. We couldn't get through more than 4 seconds of video before plugging in. Thing is the blu-ray player is only probably about 20 feet from the router...But I think the Vizio blu-ray players I have might just not connect very well wirelessly.

        There are always other options if you don't want to hard-wire. You may want to check out power-line adapters.
