The SlingStream Control Mode technology gives you rapid response when

your phone's documentation.
The signal strength does not indicate the strength of the network

SlingStream continually monitors the end-to-end Internet bandwidth
between your TV or video source and your viewing location, making on the

any given time. You can also manually fine-tune SlingStream. See
