What is the wireless technology? Will it be impacted by other 2.4GHz, like wifi or bluetooth? If hook it up to TV, any noticable latency?

hi, Wendy, I'm not a technician, but I can give an unqualified 10 stars out of 10 to the Audioengine w3. I have wifi and other wireless devices in the house, but not bluetooth, and I have never had any issue. It just WORKS, ALL the time. And, if there ever is an issue (I had a broken part--my fault, I shouldn't have tried to take it apart, duhhhh) Audio engine customer service is superb...even after I told them that I broke the part, they shipped me a new part at no cost. I did much the same research and questioning that it sounds like you are doing, and my experience is just like almost all other reviews I found, namely, 'just buy it, it works' good luck! and enjoy your wireless. oh, you asked about time delays with the tv...NONE. And everything I needed, to connect to an hd flatscreen tv and/or my Macbook, came with the w3 kit. Linda

Wendy-We have our AUdioengine hooked up to a TV wall mounted 13' above the enclosed stereo reciever cabinet. The main TV is 30' away on a 1/2 wall. Our living space is very open with 26' ceilings so sounds travel. The latency is extremely minimal, that we generally have both TV on at the same time. Unlike cable boxes hooked to each TV where the latency in sound is a killer. As far as being impacted by wireless equipment, we have 2 different routers, but no cell service . No interruptions. Nearest neighbor is 5 miles away so no history with city congestion. We love ours

I was concerned with that very issue but I changed to a dual band router and put the WiFi dongle on the 5 network (subwoofer operates on the 2.4). Everything works great, however, after almost 3 hours on the phone with a friend in another city trying go get his WiFi BluRay player to stay connected, I had all but given up. Out of desperation I asked him the usual questions (Microwave, 2.4 phones, baby monitor) and he happened to mention this soundbar. After a few tests with reproducable failures, it appears that it CAN significantly interfere with 2.4 WiFi.

Yes, there is a possibility of wireless interference. The monitor broadcasts on 2.4 GHz and some routers run on the same frequency (we have a Qwest Q1000 and it does get interference). Check to see what you wireless router uses to see if there is a conflict.

Have it. Def only internet is wireless. I don't think you'll see wireless HDMI anytime soon, Mary, sorry....hadn't heard about that, and haven't heard of wireless HDMI, period.. If someone tries to sell you a TV with wireless HDMI, maybe stay away. unless I missed a very important memo, anyone else feel free to correct me!... That said, The wireless I think if or she was talking about the internet capabilities. You can hook it up with a cable or it does have a very fast internal wireless router too. I use the wireless and its easy, very quick, depending on your internet speed, and super convenient, so I have more room for cables on my internet router. I have Att u-verse and so I asked them for I wireless router mainly because our computer and printer are upstairs, but both can use WiFi so I was going to plug everything in down stairs where the router is, but when I found out the TV had the fastest to date 802.11 WiFi, I just went to network options on my tv's guide, and just type in your password for your internet, just like you would for a computer, and good to go. It also will update firmware and programs on the TV automatically, which is good if they are fixing an existing issue or whatever. But no. There is no wireless HDMI in the near to further future... Sorry. TV is crazy awesome though!

Hello Bill, The wifi on my device works but it does take a bit to connect, most of the time the slow connection is due to the wifi signal I am trying to use. I have noticed issues when using both wifi and Bluetooth at the same time. First, I was using a mini Bluetooth keyboard/mouse device combo but soon realized that it was better to use the on screen keyboard with a wireless mouse (with dongle) or wired mouse. I am guessing the Bluetooth/Wireless card might have difficulty running both at the same time. Also, if you are using the built in wifi connection setting on the device, try using a third party wifi connection app; if you are using a third party app, try using the built in setting.

There are lots of factors that can cause your problem. the most common is the Tv's distance to your router. the weaker the WiFi signal is the less actual speed you get. What is the Speed of your connection. and how strong is the WiFi to the TV

No latency issues that I can see. You would have to set up some elaborate way of checking, but the box seems to do the job. One point of interest: the signal only goes one way (SDI to HDMI) and not the other (HDMI to SDI).

I am not sure about the range as we use it in a pretty small office setting. It does not appear to cause any interference with TV or wireless Internet.

Does your TV have Bluetooth? If so, then yes. The range is ~20 feet, so the distance shouldn't be an issue.

Sorry. I returned this TV to Costco after 1 week. I was not happy with the number of HDMI inputs (2) and of all things it was not WiFi. I have Vizio and I have not seen this problem.

Yes, this device will solve your problem if you set it up according to the directions and make sureto locateit centered between your wireless router and the TV. I have a setup like yours and have no problems.

What exactly is needed to connect the laptop to my HDTV wirelessly? I need to understand additional equipment and financial requirements before I buy my next laptop.I have WiFi on a 22" 1080p Vizio and a Dlink brand router to Comcast. Would appreciate some good advise on true wireless as I am disabled. Thanks.Jim

no. the WiFi is working perfect. I have 2 TVs. both of them connect with no issues.

I had no problems with my TV conctar Philips wifi was quick and easy. Enter configure wireless connection, put the name and password of the router, then reset the router and now. You must have a router with a high capacity mbps

Thank you for the response! Absolutely correct, feed it a wireless signal and you are good to go!

I have the same problem even though I used the 5 GHz band. I ended up using a wireless bridge for all of my entertainment center components. Now I have no problems!

I'm not familiar with this tv model, but this Bluetooth headphone only connects wirelessly with devices that has Bluetooth capability and from what I gathered this tv model doesn't have it (I could be wrong but it's not listed in the factory specification) mine doesn't have it either, although you can connect via cable in case you're close enough to the tv.
