How to test
Run a speed test on the device you stream on, at the time you usually watch (peak hours matter). If you’re below target, lower the stream quality or switch to Ethernet.

Use a wired connection, reduce other network usage, or set your player to HD. Persistent issues? See how to fix buffering.
