To optimize your Wi-Fi for video streaming, there are several steps you should take:
- Check your router’s speed. Most streaming video devices will require a minimum of 25 Mbps for optimal performance.
- Ensure that your router is not overburdeened. If other devices, such as tablets or mobile phones, are using the same router as the streaming video device, they can encumber performance. Consider disabling these devices if possible.
- Verify that you are using the latest version of the streaming app. A newer version might have better performance than an older version.
- Watch the placement of your router. Position the router in a clear space, try to avoid metal objects and tried to keep it away from other wireless routers in the surrounding area.
- When possible, connect the streaming device to your router with an ethernet cable. This will ensure the best possible connection and reduce the likelihood of a drop.
