Buffering is almost always a network issue, not a channel issue. Work through these five fixes in order and you will resolve the vast majority of problems.
Key takeaways
- You need at least 25 Mbps for stable 4K.
- Wi-Fi is the number one cause of buffering — go wired.
- A faster DNS can transform reliability.
1. Test your speed
You need at least 25 Mbps for stable 4K. Run a speed test on the same device you stream on.
2. Use Ethernet or move closer to the router
Wi-Fi drops are the number one cause of buffering. A wired connection fixes it instantly; otherwise reduce the distance and obstacles to your router.
3. Change your DNS
Switching your device or router DNS to a fast public resolver can dramatically improve stream reliability.
4. Enable the app buffer
Most players have a buffer setting — raising it slightly smooths out brief network dips.
5. Still stuck? Message support

Quick win
Before anything else, fully restart your streaming device and your router — a 30-second power cycle clears the majority of one-off buffering issues.
