WIFI quality isn't as expert as Ethernet, if your wife turns on the microwave or another device you lot could be watching TV one moment, and without a point the next. In addition the wifi betoken bounces a lot, some times you accept proficient signal other times it is low.
If you can do it wired, exercise information technology wired.

Whatsoever device has the potential to be more reliable using ethernet. If you mean are there any features the Hopper would accept, no the connections each provide the same service, one being more reliable. Keep in mind hundreds of thousands of people do rely on Wifi everyday for connections and for the almost part there is little or no problem. But Scott is correct in the setting you are talking about (in the dwelling house) Wifi tin endure at times.

I am gonna have a Joey installed in my function, which is where the modem and router are. How probable would the installer be to put a HIC in the role, as opposed to merely connecting the Hopper via WiFi. I'grand certain the HIC volition be more costly for the installer.

Doesn't hurt to ask, but nearly techs will effort to use the built-in wireless on a Hopper with Sling every bit that'southward the easiest method to connect.
I don't think we have seen very many complaints about the wireless on the Hopper with Sling. Worst instance if it doesn't work very well, they'll come up back out and install a HIC. Make sure to test the internet connection whether it's wireless or HIC early to make sure there'due south no bug.

I will Always connect with Ethernet if I can. For me, it meant running a CAT6 from one terminate of my house 100' over the flat roof to the other end where the equipment all is. In that cabinet, coming off a separate router and all fed with Ethernet is my Hopper, Roku, Blu-Ray, HDDVD (I know, incorrect guess!) and Onkyo 709 networked receiver, forth with an extra cable for my laptop when needed. BTW, in that location tin can exist bug with the second router - the logic of from the primary router to the input of the second router does non piece of work, and the first router needs to exist connected to a "regular" Ethernet output on router #two.

Just to clarify things, WiFi is a specification for physical connectivity for Ethernet. Category, fiber and coaxial connections are equally well.

All my Joey's that are continued by cable show a Scarlet MOCA. Simply connecting the to Ethernet corrects the pixilation, freezing, etc. I talked to a Dish rep today and he confirmed that Dish knows about it and we may be seeing a Joey push in the next (???) month or so. Aforementioned thing, wouldn't commit every bit to a engagement for a set up just that a lot of Joey's are seeing the same problem on the MOCA network.
