Is this Router able to stream 4 K movies to tv smart?

Yeah, it should be able to handle it, assuming the TV is within range and there aren't too many interfering obstructions between the two.

It depends on the placement of the router in relation to the TV, other traffic on the netwok, and if you're streaming over the internet, your internet speed is a factor. From reviewing information, it appears 4k streaming requires roughly 20mbps, this router handles far in excess of that. But obstacles and distance limit throughput and speed to the device. So the answer is: it is capable, but your situation has A LOT to do with it.

I don't think you will stream at that speed, besides unless if you have unlimited data it would be a bandwidth killer. Good idea otherwise

I have not had any problems with speed use laptop / I-pad while streaming movies thru roku box with no problems. I would make sure your Internet provider speed is acceptable.

not really. I am using a 2014 SkyStreamX 4 Quad Core Android Smart TV Box with Remote - Android 4.4 and 13.1 Gotham XBMC Accessories preloaded - Internet Streaming Media Player and standard works, sometimes it gets slow, but the creators could improve it.

Yes, but because it doesn't have wi fi built in, you will either need to run an ethernet cable to it from where the router is, but if you have a wireless router, use can use a wi fi extender that allows you to plug an ethernet cable into it to the blu ray player or use a powerline ethernet adapter to connect an ethernet cable to the blu ray (that will run the Internet to other areas of your house using the power grid & power outlets in your home). The last is the best method I found, as the wif fi extender would drop signal sometimes, but the powerline adapter doesn't & gives me a better connection.

I was able to stream to my Asus I play player and smart tv. The device was slow because the media scanner was constantly running and taking 90% of the resources. I recommend buying a synology nas instead for media and everything else. The OS is much better an the apps to stream to smart TVs and iPad/android are better. WD is not fully baked.

not sure what you are asking here.if you mean could you use a streaming box from those services or a HTPC, jack it into the reciever and be golden, then 100% yesdoes it hook into the internet and stream those services itself, then no

No, I have two of these units and Mediacom Service. I run my service provider router to my wireless router. I run my four ports out of my router to four areas of the house into the 8 port switch. The 7 extra ports are used to hard wire my Apple TV, TV, Roku, receiver, TIVO,etc. Works great. My only issue with the switch is heat. Set it away from your components.

I used a powerline adapter to run internet from my router to the TV area. One small box plugs into an outlet at the router and another at the TV. They then use the electrical lines to carry the internet signal. The speed is 11 MBps which is fine for HD streaming with Netflix. (Actually I have a 4 port hub behind the TV because my Direct TV receiver, XBox 360, and Sony TV, and soon Blu Ray player all use the internet).

Mine is still working fine after 2 years, except for the "smart" functions. We can't stream movies or go online without annoying buffering due to the crappy wifi module. When we want to stream a movie we have to do it through the Wi or playstation. Don't expect good results with any function that needs internet. Samsung customer support is a joke as well. I submitted my concern through their web site, to which they never responded. Once they have your money they don't care anymore.

I have had no problem with this router and have it hooked up to a Vizio LED Smart TV so I can watch YouTube as well as other Internet video.

I use it with my Roku 2 XS but am going to get a 5ghz version, we have over 20 routers on 2.4ghz in our neighborhood.

As long as the provider does not require it to watch the channels you want then no. Local SD and HD channels over the air should work fine.

Easy enough set-up and good enough for what you say you will need it for as long as your devices aren't too far away from the router. If you ever want to stream video, such as Netflix or Hulu or have a multi-level home, this will not work effectively. If you want to do the latter as I mentioned I would suggest the Asus RT-N66U or the newer AC66U. The N model, which I have, is cheaper and works very well in my multi-level home. I probably get greater than 100 ft coverage on my Asus. Good luck!

It is not fast, but I still get 50 or 100 Mbps connections with it and it always just works without a fuss! I'd say it is quite useable unless you are streaming hd media without multicast or are just in a hurry to download large files :).

thus DSL Modem/wireless router should definitely be fast enough to support any video streaming service. I can't personally do this as my Verizon DSL is sooooo Sloooowww...
