[SOLVED] Is there any way to get Gigabit internet on Samsung TV?

[Gedikpasha]

Hello,

I have 55NU8000 Samsung TV which has 10/100 ethernet port and 2..4ghz Wifi. (It has 2x USB 2.0)

I have 1000mbit internet speed at my home. Is it possible to upgrade ethernet card? Or are there anyways to get 1gbit on my TV..

Thanks.

Highly unlikely it is likely part of the main motherboard for the tv. Even if there was some kind of add in slot or USB you can not load any driver into the tv operating system like a pc.

The larger questions is why would you even want to. It is not like the tv downloads huge game programs or stores tv shows. You could stream 8k resolution at 120hz and it still won't use 100mbps.

The tv and streaming software only runs at the speed it needs having extra speed makes no difference at all. Kinda like your internet connection itself. If all you do is stream video or surf web sites you will not likely use more than a couple 100mbps even with multiple people watch different things. A high speed internet connection only benefits someone who downloads lots of big files.

I don't believe so. Gigabit WAN speed doesn't benefit TVs. Streamed media is less than 100Mbit.

WCM730Q is the wi-fi module for the TV in question, it's not easily replaceable with any off the shelf part/device/module. So no, you can't modify it beyond what you get out-of-the-box.

Thanks for the Reply.

I know 100 mbit its already enough. I just wanted to learn if there is a way to get 1gbs internet on my TV for self-satisfaction ..
