I currently have Plex and Radarr. I only ever got 1080p content because that’s all my tv would do. Finally getting a nice new tv and would like to get a few 4K hdr movies to watch. Should I be looking for Bluray2160, Remux, or disk and what will Plex play?

      If it’s inside your own network, it depends on your local network speeds. Most routers usually have gigabit ethernet ports. WiFi depends on the signal quality

      If outside your network, you’ll be capped by your upload speed

        I would like to emphasize that it’s not only the speed of the local network connection. Also computing power of the router is important, as too much load will put a lot of strain in the CPU of the router.

          That’s interesting, I’d never thought of that before. Is there some metric to measure this by? Like, do manufacturers report what cpu (chip?) their router has? I haven’t seen anything like that on listings for amateur products, at least.
