Western Digital My Passport Wireless Pro also gives you fast wireless access to its contents (via a dual band 802.11ac antenna) alongside an SD 3.0 card reader, and doubles as a Plex media server. Inside, it's also got a 6,400 mAh battery to run for 10 continuous hours or, if needed, recharge your smartphone or other devices.

This all means you can wirelessly stream HD video without skipping frames, offload photos from your camera's SD card (or even using a USB cable) to your drive and then to your devices, and use it as a WiFi hub to share an internet connection with up to 8 devices at once.

For under $200, you get a powerful tri-band wireless setup capable of a combined 3.2Gbps of throughput. The TP-Link Archer C3200 has two 5GHz bands and one 2.4GHz band.

This allows the two higher bandwidth channels to independently stream 4K video without slowing down simpler Wi-Fi devices. 4×4 MU-MIMO technology helps with this as well, making a unique connection to the network's four highest streaming users. The router has six high-performance antennas, which use beamforming to divert more of its energy towards reaching distant devices.

The Miix 510 is very capable of hardware decoding even 4K video with the minimum amount of CPU power required. To achieve this, either: Use Microsoft Edge. It will default to x264 codec, that is hardware accelerated. Use Firefox but install the h264ify extension.

Use Chrome, but install the h264ify extension. Just to give you numbers, for a 4K video without the h264ify extension, Chrome uses 64-100% CPU. With this extension it uses about 6%. Edge uses around 4% and Firefox around 5-7% (with h264ify).
