[@douglascobbs2433]

Thank you for all your help. It is really appreciated. I do agree with most people who dislike the preloaded Amazon items. It takes up too much space. Have a good day.

[@peggywilkins1358]

THANK YOU for your assistance! Unlike the other channels, the first step which is the most simple worked for me without going through the more difficult steps like the other channel were suggesting😊

Hi Tanya. Things are slowly getting brighter in my neck of the Woods. Thanks for listening to me and charming me with your voice and smile :)

[@DarrenSmith501911]

Hi Tanya, thise are some good tips that I use regularly. I also restart my router once a week (or more if necessary). I find that some apps might be part of the problem as well.

[@scottbelle9870]

The app thats in your store that is a one click to stop all apps has helped me a lot but I will try some of the suggestions on how to stop buffering and thank you !

[@mikebaxley975]

i’ve been following your channel. I was low on storage so I added 128 GB thumb drive. I followed your tutorial. It worked great I got rid of the bread. My streaming channel and fire stick is a beast. Thanks to you.

[@FireTVSticks]

Great to hear!

[@PCgonerogue820]

When I get a lot of buffering I change the channel on my router to one that's not as busy, this usually fixes the problem. The internet in my area isn't always that good at times. Thank You for the video Tanya

[@jonjon7311]

How do you change it on the router ? Your reply would really help .. thankyou in advance

[@deelipford1088]

I enjoy your videos very much. You make them “understandable”. I do have some buffering issues, but your guidance is helping me deal with them. However. I do have an issue I cannot figure out. After a show, or movie end’s instead of being able to return to my links, or program/movie page, I get a “still shot ad” and I have to hit the home button to start all over. Please advise. Thank you.

[@danielploy9143]

Me also on film plus

[@FireTVSticks]

If you cannot press the back button on your remote to close the ad, then pressing the Home button may be the only way around this. Unless you can see an X in the top corner of the ad? If so, then you can activate a mouse toggle and use the mouse pointer to hit the X and close the ad. WORKING MOUSE TOGGLE ON FIRESTICK - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iovPZp6Jer9pors

Really good professional presentation Tanya, well done. The one tip from you that did it for me was a while ago, on how to triple your broadband speed. Took my paltry 50MB/sec using the Amazon network adapter to over 200MB/sec using the USB3 adapter that you recommended. OK, so a VPN does slow it down a bit but still get blazing speeds. Thank you.

[@redpassion1313]

Would you mind sharing that info here please? Post a link or give the brand and model number please?

[@stevescotch622]

Love your channel. I have done all those steps multiple times and just wanted to add that it does help in a lot of cases but won't help if the service or app you are using has too many users at a given time. I use a firecube and have 9G of space and getting almost 400 mgbs it still buffers once in a while because the service can't handle the load.

[@FireTVSticks]

Thanks for sharing!

[@philiprudnick6240]

Interesting. Thx. As per your query, the pre installed apps annoys the daylights out of me. I don't want them. I will never use them. They use up valuable storage space which is woefully inadequate

[@soupdragon12345]

Hi you made a comment on one of your videos about some apps not running properly if moved to flash drive? Would you recommend just leaving where they get installed or moving them and seeing if they run fine?

[@FireTVSticks]

I'm afraid I don't have a surefire list of apps that will work perfectly on the flash drive. But don't worry, you can experiment until you find what suits you best! A tip for optimal performance: it's a good idea to keep apps like VPNs, file explorers, and custom launchers on your device's internal storage.

[@petew7276]

Thanks for the tips, some are very useful. Here in Eastern Canada I have tried different cable devices to connect to the router but as you mention the Amazon one throttles the speed. Another one I tried was a ‘made in China’ cable that was called, wait for it, Cable! That particular one slowed the speed to about 70MBS. I pay for 150 but at times get in excess of 350, with a VPN connection from some European servers it is reduced to around 40. This is more than adequate for our needs and by using RD it is quite amazing. However I’m quite sure our ISP detects the VPN and does some interfering with the speed, most noticeable when using certain, (side loaded) apps.

[@FireTVSticks]

Yes, this is possible unfortunately.

[@TheRealLives2Laugh]

Good info!! Thanks for the reboot key sequence! 👍😊

[@petew7276]

Interestingly it only works while on the Amazon home page or directly from an open app, when I’m using a launcher it just goes to the launcher menu. Good tip though.

[@jbh.6257]

The simply reset is all it took, thanks !!

[@MegaAlacrity]

Thank you Tanya! Reboot and cache solved 90% of the problem, though still freezing every 2-3 minutes despite wired connection and 70mbs download speed! I have also checked storage 2g +.....Any advice?

[@FireTVSticks]

I have not heard of that, sorry. Perhaps report to Amazon?

[@aekbelouadi4797]

[@glenn2595]

I know there is no Ethernet direct port on a Firestick, you did cover the adapter for it, however is there a connection speed compromise compared if it had a direct connection?

[@FireTVSticks]

The Amazon ethernet adapter is capped to a maximum of 100Mbps. However, you can use a gigabit adapter, as shown in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGfMdmN_n99nfsU to reach speeds in excess of 300Mbps.

Hi. I've followed the tips. But still suffer buffering particularly when watching Apple TV. My Internet speed averages around 90mbps, I have 1.5gb free space on my firestick 4k. I've cleared the cache in all apps, but still get buffering. I have to press return to go back to main Apple TV menu and then enter back into the program for it to play again. It's very frustrating! Any ideas at all?

[@FireTVSticks]

Sorry, I do not use Apple TV and have not experienced the issue. However, it could be that your Apple TV is set to too high a resolution? Are there any settings you can adjust the lower the video streaming quality?

[@55peterf]

Great info as per usual Tanya, im using Proton VPN free version your recommendation and its been pretty good for a free vpn with Virgin volt 350 . Recently however I fear VM are now targeting the VPN providers at peak times for IPTV and slowing and then cutting the connection. My internet speed is consistently high and consistent outside of the app im using and not through the Proton VPN. Usually the streams run faultlessly up until the main event when the stream starts initially to buffer and stall and then when they freeze completely I check download speed and there's no internet connection. If I come out completely and back into app , restart stream and the whole process starts again until the stream freezes once again and connection is lost. I fear the ISP is blocking the VPN at peak times , could this be the case?

[@FireTVSticks]

It's possible. Upgrading to a paid VPN is always preferable as you will get better speeds and fewer restrictions, such as this VPN: nordvpn.com/firetvsticks.

[@wangchung_8541]

Hey Tanya , any tips for iptv buffering ? My signal strength is insanely good , also my download speed is in excess of 700mbps

[@FireTVSticks]

Did any of the tips in this video help? If not, it could be your ISP blocking your access. Consider using a VPN nordvpn.com/firetvsticks. Or request support from your IPTV provider.

[@MakeitZUPER]

OK, so last first...Real Debrid costs/ coffee? Is this hourly, daily, weekly, monthly because I doubt it's annually. As far as Amazon's non-removable aps...I hate the entire concept and they have it on all their devices. I realized this when I was researching tablets recently. I loved the wireless charging and was going to get the top-of-the-line model but when I saw the upcharge to remove some ads I got annoyed enough to not buy any more of their products unless absolutely necessary. I don't like their ability to disable my purchases remotely or the information collecting. I hate the cameras and voice recordings that they take. They claim it's to help recognize what I want for the Alexa option but I've read from numerous sources that if you disable the recording function in the menu that there's no change in the device's behavior or ability to recognize what's being said. Misleading statements like that cause me to lose faith in any of their claims. I'm currently researching firewall devices that can stop them and others from uploading any of my information without effecting my logins. It will probably need to be done at a code level in the firmware or BIOS but i'm going to keep trying to find an external solution that might be practical enough to market. Isolating my security system while still receiving notifications of people in proximity of my buildings is another but I'm pretty sure that the solution already exists for that within a certain brand or two. Great job with this video presentation. I have been waiting for an internet speed test recommendation. Most presenters mention it so quickly that even closed captions doesn't catch the name, lol.

[@88dmunro]

You can run a speed test by going to fire stick settings, network, select your wifi then hold in the play pause button for a few seconds.

[@FireTVSticks]

1) Real Debrid offer different tiers. Please check my webpage referenced in the video for further information. 2) Other Android streaming devices such as Mecool, Chromecast, Nvidia all have similiar issues. They usually have Google TV or Andrioid TV with Google Assistant and come with the same sorts of issues. You could try a stock Android box instead. 3) Thanks, glad you found it useful :)

[@MakeitZUPER]

@@88dmunro I haven't hooked up my stick yet. When I ordered it , it was misdelivered and after seeing it registered on my account I contacted customer service and they shut it off. Since I now know how much control they have over my property, I don't like the idea of having it hooked up without some sort of firewall blocking that I'm currently researching. I'm of the opinion that no matter what settings I change on the device, they can bypass it through their own back door. If they can access it, then a hacker can presumably do the same thing. I'm not amused.
