So, work has me going away for a bit and I'll be living on a 5th wheel trailer at an RV park. I want to get an Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire, something like this to play Netflix on do other stuff. My question is, which is the best, is there something I can do on one device that I can't on another, also this RV parks internet may not have the best internet will that affect how well netflix plays?

A LOT.
If I was buying a device right now, I would probably go Roku 3.

What all can I do on a Roku? And is there anything I can do to boost the internet?

I mean really, they're all about the same. Some offer apps that the others can't, and vice-versa. Just pick the one that fits your needs the best.

probably not, but if it is in fact really slow or blocked, you could try to use a VPN or something similar to get around it. It won't help with the speed much, but it could definitely help. I actually use a VPN because Charter throttles the hell out of me due to all the torrenting, netflixing, and youtube watching that I do. Best $6 a month I spend, honestly.

Can you browser the internet with a Roku 3?

I'm assuming the Apple TV will allow me to do that correct?

If you have a router that supports the use of a VPN through it's firmware, then that's the way to go. That means that every device that connects to it will travel through the VPN without having to install it on that particular device.

Will a belkin n600 work?
Posted on 4/20/14 at 9:12 pm to GeauxTime9
I don't know. Just google the model number and read the specs page on the Belkin site.

You could have a Belkin AC1200, but if you have crappy internet, you might as well read a book..
