Finally got Gen5
That's interesting that it's there for you with Gen4. You can probably see if it's working by going to Youtube and watching some newer music videos. Mine all default to 480P.
With that said, when I had Gen4, even during the day or late at night when I had great speed, I still sometimes had buffering problems. Trying to watch a video during the evening was a real pain, having it buffer every five seconds or so. It was terrible. Perhaps my beam or gateway was much more loaded than yours, even if the decent off peak speed didn't necessarily reflect that. My speed tests, even when I was hitting 30Mbps, showed considerable congestion, reflected in the graph of the test. It looked like the Rocky Mountains. Now it looks like a nice, smooth horizon. The smoother, the better, when it comes to streaming.
I do not see any difference with Gen5 othet then speed. I've got 20 GB and still running out. Have not changed anything as far as my
system. I cant download any movies or programs.
