Sure the Google TV Streamer only has AC (wifi 5) but we get 350 Mb/s using an AX (wifi 6) router. Wifi 6 or 7 (be) would be better... but AC is fast enough The only thing that might improve on wifi 6 or 7 is lag (28 ms)/jitter (8 ms). The computer has an ethernet connection and has a lag of only 8~12 ms and jitter ~1 ms N.B. You tend to notice lag when you're playing games or video conferencing. 🙂

Amazing how the Nvidia Shield was designed so well - 10 years ago , that it outperforms many of the new processors and features of these newer devices. I wish Nvidia would release a new shield, with a more modern AI enabled processor and built-in matter hub support. With their reputation for building future proof devices, an update like this (at the rught price) would cement it as the king of the streaming and entertainment hubs for most users.

Very useful review. The main use I have for an "streaming" box is to play ripped full-bandwidth 4k UHD Dolby Vision movies via Plex. For me, only the Nvidia Shield Pro (2019) can do this. Maybe one of the Apple TV streaming boxes can do it as well. The 4K Dolby Vision of the "Back to the Future" trilogy bandwidth can exceed 100mbps. My TCL TV Roku app can't play this. The previous Google Chromecast 4K dongle is also unable to play these videos. After wasting time and money I finally bought a Nvidia Shield Pro when it went on sale for $160. Now I'm satisfied. For now. According to Lon's review, Plex is the only streaming video app that can make a watchlist that includes Netflix.

To sum up most of these comments: "Onn 4K Pro better!" - better value to be sure, but also has cons and won't be supported as long "Keeping my Shield!" - good, but its 2x the price and 5 yrs old now for those just now buying But to be fair the Streamer should've had a better chip and Wifi 6 for the price, then the lack of an HDMI cable could be forgiven

Despite the price ($159 AUD) it makes a nice replacement for the Chromecast 4K which is very slow to respond and locks up from time to time. The extra storage 32 GB v's 4 GB means you now have a bit of room to install a wider range of apps. 4 GB storage is just too small. You end up having to juggle apps. With each version of Android the space left for apps shrinks further. Not expensive enough to agonise over the price... but it will probably get a price drop down to $99 AUD in the near future. It will probably also get a performance enhancement (faster CPU?)... but that could be further down the track. We've been putting up with poor behaviour for years (voice recognition doesn't work properly)... so we didn't want to wait for a price drop. 🙂
