My mid-50's ranch is swathed in aluminum siding and has two wire circuitry in most parts of the house. I have recently switched to fiber internet with newer mesh units and the video has improved, primarily in terms of buffering and general connectivity. Also, dropping AT&T copper internet has all but eliminated wifi dropouts and general bandwidth issues.
That being said, my streamer is is about ten feet away from my router and is plugged into a different circuit. I'm using an ethernet connection using a slightly upgraded cable. Unless I move my system to another end of the house, I will stick with wired a connection. I can't easily make a long ethernet run due to having a slab construction and an attic full of cellulose.
