Buffering problem

I get asked this question so many times I thought I  would  create a post just on this issue.

why is my channel stuttering or buffering?

A good place to  start is by typing the link below in your browser.

make sure your device is hardwired to router. For example your laptop or pc is attached to router using the yellow ethernet cable and not via WiFi.

This will give you a more accurate measurement.

Another very useful tool for ensuring that you get the best WiFi connection is to download an app called

WiFi analyser  from the Google play store.

Then provided you have an able WiFi on your phone or tablet etc you can easily identify which router channel is the least congested.

All routers have about 13 channels sometimes you can get router interference from your neighbours. This handy apo takes out the guesswork when trying to change router channels.

If your WiFi connection isn't the best speak to your I'm for further assistance.

In order to watch content in SD you need at least 2mb on the upload.

To watch in HD you need 4 mb  on the upload.

Also bear in mind that when you are watching content through kodi /xbmc it can be variable due to which server the content is stored on. Totally out of your control. As the people who create these lists are responsible for the content and there is nothing you or me for that matter can do  about it.

Hope this helps.
