I’ll be connecting over wifi. Currently live in an apartment without the best coverage - should be okay at the tv but our current Xiaomi streamer gets awful speeds (phone does better) and our Samsung TV doesn’t do much better. 4K netflix and Youtube is fine but Plex streaming high bitrate 4K files is a gamble. In general there’s a lot of wifi congestion in our area.

I don’t have the option of running an ethernet cable. I was thinking of grabbing some 6e routers (I’d assumed the Apple TV supported 6e) but have discovered since that it doesn’t. I assume that the 4th gen Apple TV will support 6e - is it worth waiting? Will it actually make a difference? I saw some speed tests with wifi 6 vs 6e on the firestick 4k Max but they didn’t really show a difference in speeds.

As a side question, has anyone with a purely wifi Apple TV faced problems with connectivity?

Edit to add: aside from Plex, I also want to use the Apple TV for Steam Link gaming… I hear that both Plex and Steam have stutter issues for some, which is worrying. How big of a deal is this really?
