Why Does My FireStick Keep Buffering?

There are 10 most common reasons why your AMAZON FireStick keeps buffering:

1. Slow internet connection: ADSL is not good for iptv, you need hight speed like fibre channel with 100 Mbps or more.
2. Poor Wi-Fi signals: using of wifi 4 or 5 with low speed
3. ISP throttling: Some internet providers deliberately slow down connection speeds in peak hours to accommodate other customers.
4. Too many devices using your internet: If multiple people use your internet simultaneously to download and stream content, your FireTVStick will get slower.
5. Outdated streaming apps: You’re more likely to experience buffering on older versions of streaming apps.
6. Running low on RAM: Multiple apps running in the background can eat up your FireStick RAM, causing the device to load videos improperly.
7. Low storage: Fire TV devices come with only 8GB and 16GB in respective models, and if your device runs low on storage, it starts slowing down all processes.
8. FireTVStick overheating: Heat thermal throttles your FireStick, affecting its performance.
9. Outdated FireStick OS: An old FireStick OS version may also limit the true performance of your device.
