Your smart TV may be holding back your home Wi-Fi – here’s why

It sounds counterintuitive, I know. Usually the main concern is whether your Wi-Fi is holding back your home theater, not the other way around. Bad Wi-Fi performance can after all interrupt audio and video streams, or force them down to lower resolutions and bitrates. If you’re lucky enough to have wireless surround sound, disruptions can lead to sync problems, or satellite speakers dropping out entirely.
