nvidia shield

[I SURVIVED LONDON BLITZ]

My download speed is so bad I again complained to my ISP who after a long testing period told me that the Nvidia shield was slowing me down and I should turn it off. Has any one heard of this or is it BS. And if its true how do you turn it off. :confused1:

From what I'm reading, it automatically turns on when the power cord is plugged into it. Unplugging it apparently is the only option for turning it off (aside from when it goes to sleep mode if it's not used for some time)

As far as SHIELD being the source of the download speed issue, that I don't know about, other then this:


(From the user guide)

For maximum performance, Ethernet is recommended. The Ethernet on SHIELD supports 10/100/1000 Mbps. Once Ethernet is connected, SHIELD will disable Wi-Fi and switch to Ethernet.

For networks which don't support DHCP, the IP-related settings can be configured in Settings > Network Settings > "Ethernet."

For the best Wi-Fi experience, a 5 GHz dual-band 802.11 AC/N MIMO router is recommended. These routers are capable of operating in the 5 GHz band to prevent interference due to 802.11 wlan/non-wlan wireless radio sources that operate in the 2.4 GHz band.

When setting up your Wi-Fi, it is recommended to scan the wireless environment and choose a less "congested" channel for the AP on either band. Configure the AP in "Auto" mode and "Auto" channel width (This field has different names depending on the AP vendor. Some call it "up to speeds" or "supported speeds."
