Best Connection for streaming
Your uplink on the move. An ethernet port lets you wire it straight to the encoder.
Which connection should you use for streaming?
StreamPartPicker tracks 25 connection options with enough data to publish, ordered by proven quality per dollar: each part's retailer rating, weighted by how many people rated it, against the square root of its price. GL.iNet Mango (GL-MT300N-V2) leads that ordering at 4.1 out of 5 and $29.99. The order is the formula's, not a hand-picked list, and nothing here is lab-tested by us.
