Great little device, Ethernet connection much better than WiFi.
I have been using the cheaper wireless versions for several years and they struggled because the older WiFi spec they are hardwired with. Wanted to upgrade to the next size that supported the Ethernet cable connection. Traditionally Ethernet cables are more stable than WiFi and will run as fast as your hardware can handle. I know not everyone has Ethernet cables running through their houses but if you can switch to the hard line side, you will see more consistent speeds when running your connection test. For me though, I only see at the max 50 Mbps via Verizon (LTE) in my rural area for now, so anything over Cat 5e is overkill but it is nice to know whenever I can upgrade my ISP speeds (5G/UW), my hardware can handle more.
The Roku Ultra LT is a great streaming product, with ethernet capability. Perfect little device. Roku has removed the feature to measure internet speed on their devices. You can go about that by doing a test on your Netflix app.
I actually wasn't sent a Roku Ultra LT. I received a Roku Ultra, both have the same specs so apples to apples. The set up was fairly easy though I had to do it twice, It also had a difficult time connecting to my wifi. It doesn't freeze like my previous Roku but it will lose audio requiring a reboot to get the audio working again. Also after some ads I see the spinning dots but the stream is not affected. IMO Roku is still the best platform for streaming.
I have had seveal Roku products overtheyears. All were quitesatisfactory; in act, I like the Roku system better thanthe smart TV system on my Samsung. However, the Roku TV i had died prematurely, and the TV repairman told me that was commonwith Roku TVs; "The best thingaboutthem is the Roku sytem;theTV sets are low quality." I last was using a Roku Express with a bon-smart TV, but that got to be a hassle as the remotewould only work within a foot or so from the receiver. The Ultrasystem is the bestI have had; timewill tell whether it holds up.
Love the Robu Ultra, great Performance, has everything that. I COULD ASK FOR. GREAT Picture, easy to set up, many, many channels ! Close enough to PERFECT for me!
Works great. East set up. Dolby Vision really enhanced the picture. Decodes all the latest audio formats. Great product for the price. Definitely recommend.
