5G risk of loosing data? - Rincevan - 2024-06-03

Hi every body!

I have a lot of problems with my internet service provider. I live in the countryside and the fiber network often fail.
I thought about using the 5G network. I have tested it with my phone: down734mbs / up90mbs.
I have made a huge media server for my family and my friends. Sadely down since a week beacause of fiber failure.

What do you think about 5G?

I have noticed that on wifi you may loose data during file transfer. Most of the movies sent in wifi by one of my friend are corrupted.
Is there a risk, using a radio wave (5G) to loose data ?

Thank you guys !!!

Jellyfin uses TCP so any packet loss should be automatically dealt with. Same with corruption during the transfer. TCP has a checksum that should automatically detect transmission related corruption. This applies to WIFI, wired, or 5G.

Probably loosing data because the connection goes in and out for extended periods of time. If your just streaming to clients shouldnt have to worry about corrupting anything. Downloading/uploading movies however could corrupt I would pair an sha-256 hash with the video so you can check for corruption or dataloss.

Thanks. Sound like optimistic so far.
I did not know about Tcp.
So what IS the easiest way to hash video file. What software on the PC that sent the file and on the NAS?

I ll take any informations about 5G if any one has expérience about it. I prefer to know now the négative points befor buying an expensive système.
