Improve streaming quality on any connection

Improve the connection

• Prefer Ethernet for the big screen
• Use 5 GHz Wi-Fi when wireless is required
• Keep the streaming device and router in the same room when you can
• Pause large downloads while you watch

Player settings

Match quality to your real-world speed. HD is usually the sweet spot on typical home broadband; higher settings need a stronger, more stable link.

• Start on Auto or HD, then raise quality only if playback stays smooth
• Disable unnecessary player overlays or multi-view features on weaker devices

Device hygiene

• Restart sticks and boxes weekly
• Keep a little free storage on Fire TV / Android devices
• Update apps when prompted
• Close background apps on Android TV and mobile
