If you're doing everything over wifi and your router is in the basement and your living room TV is a couple floors up then you need to expand your network. Now you didn't mention your actual home layout so I can't tell if it's a SFH or a townhouse or an apartment or whatever. Have you tried restarting the router as well as the actual ONT? You basically do this by unplugging it and waiting 30 seconds or a minute and plugging it back in. Also, your neighbor's wifi and other devices. Others mentioned this as well, but there can be issues with interference from other microwave sources such as an actual microwave oven if it's on and between your device and your router. You would want at least 50 megabit for it to display the highest quality video without artifacts or buffering. If you're using a 4k plan like we are then the minimum speed required is 25 megabit and at that point it's basically saturating your connection. Netflix can use a lot more bandwith than people realize. So it's true that your speed are not great for modern devices. Run the speed test, I just did and I get 65 megabit with a connection to the cell network (iPhone 12). Download a speed test app to your phone and then turn off wifi on it. New pp here, so not the person you replied to. Thanks for the tips, we’ll also try plugging into the router as mentioned above. OP here - lol, didn’t realize that! Clearly I’m not up to date on this stuff. Anonymous wrote:Lol 100/100 is slower than cell phones, Netflix and surfing dcum would tank that, you need gigabit
