BT TV Pro box

Can/does the BT TV Pro box use wireless & wired connections simultaneously where both are available from the Smart Hub ?

Hi @nigelwe 

No. It's either WiFi or ethernet. As both deliver sufficient bandwidth for IPTV what would be the use case for having both?

Thanks for coming back.  There don't appear to be any controls that would allow me to switch the wireless off in favour off a better/stable wired connection straight from the BT Hub..... unless you know different ?

A lot of the Googling I've done comes back and says that a wired connection is always better than a wireless connection, but no one has said how to turn off the wireless !

There is no need to switch off WiFi. If you don't set up a wireless connection in the first place, then none will exist. If you have then it will be disabled as soon as you plug in the ethernet cable.

Hi @nigelwe 

As @rbz5416  Indicates you don't have to set up WiFi. However I'm sure there is a forget network option too in the network screen. (Not near box to check).

In any event the box is 'intelligent' enough to use eithernet over WiFi when a cable is plugged in.

Is there a ‘not’ missing there? 😛
