Is anybody else having buffering…

Some fire sticks are known to have buffering issues. Mine used to but upgraded to fiber optic internet and no issues.
Sometimes, when going through WiFi, buffering can be an issue. I found that if you can hardwire your system through the modem/router, it will be more stable.
Absolutely, there's too much degradation of speed with WiFi unless you have a mesh system installed. I do, but still ran an Ethernet cable from my router to both fire sticks.
Also, the 4K fire stick has a faster processor, so even if your TV isn't 4K there's still an advantage to use that model of fire stick.
I have to add some additional context for my situation: I am using a Harmony remote to control fire TV. Not sure if there is a fix for that!
Best time to get one is around the holidays. They drop to about half price. I just picked one up a couple weeks ago for about $25
I had a friend attach something to my tv. I access espn+ on the computer, then cast it to the tv. My only problem has been when it goes out, I have to go back upstairs and recast. Beingsthat I'm a slow, old fart, I lose about 15 minutes of game time.
The unit you use for streaming plays a part as well. You can go from an expensive nVidia Shield down to the cheapest and still get some buffering at times. I bought a Mi Box S for near nothing and it truly performs well. It goes between apps faster than another android box I have with less buffering and it has no ethernet port so it's all through wifi. It's all in your equipment, boys. Where have I heard that one before?
It’s more likely your set up than anything. I enjoyed nice stream today!!……worse tonight than ever!!
