    Netflix WiFi or Wired?

    I just ordered a Sony TV with built in wireless. I have a WiFi router which works fine for my laptop. If I want to watch Netflix movies is a wifi network usually reliable or would I be better off running a wire from my router to the TV. Fishing the wire would be very difficult. I do not want to experience dropped connections or a lot of buffering which is why I think a wired connection might be better.

    Anyone here watch streaming Netflix on wifi and how well does it work?

    Thanks for the help.

    Been a couple years now, but all I had to do for my son-in-law was change to a better antenna on his router.

    He was complaining and I replaced the external antenna and all worked OK.

    I think it was a 7dB antenna I got .

    Best I can do.

    It really depends on how good the WiFi signal is. If it is a good strong signal, and there aren't a lot of neighbours using the same channel then wireless should be as good as wired.
