[QUOTE="Pride Of Cucamonga, post: 1072985, member: 401412"] I invested in a Kathrein EXIP 418 SAt>IP server a couple of months ago in the hope of getting streams wirelessly on my laptop around the house / garden, but I honestly regret the purchase. The streams just aren't stable more than a few metres away from the router, even with direct line of site the picture will break up (note: a direct ethernet cable is fine) . I have tried multiple routers, multiple client devices and multiple locations (some rural, without any wifi interference from neighbours) and the problem persists. Setting longer latency helps a bit, but not much. No other setting change seems to fix it. Having read this ([URL='https://artes.esa.int/projects/satip-wifi-hotspot']Sat>IP WiFi Hotspot | ESA's ARTES Programmes[/URL] and see pic for solution), I think the problem is a lack of forward error correction suitable for wifi. Sat>IP servers only take the DVB-S/S2 stream and send it as ip packets. Sky Q must use a more robust system as, unlike SAT>IP, the server does the decryption so may be adding in more error correction. Anyway, just a warning for you guys. Hopefully I am missing something, but don't think i am. SAt>IP is great if you can go fully wired though. [/QUOTE]
