A:AnswerI have had buffering issues with many devices. I will say from past experience, it is not the device. The best thing to do is use a wired network. In an apartment so many people are using wireless, it interferes with yours. I have solved this in two ways in my home. I buy a device I can plugin to my network which the Firestick is not or buy a wireless extender if your wireless router is in another room. I find sometimes the wireless extenders with the antennas can pick up and send the signal better from the router to the device. Also, a good extender has a wired connection on it just in case. I would try one of those. As for this device, I don't own it but was browsing to buy it as I just brought an Android Television and like it. I figured I would answer your question with my past experience. For troubleshooting the firestick I would make sure you are using the 5ghz network on your router 2.4ghz is a crowded bandwidth. Even my microwave can cause interference sometimes. If you have a tv by the router try plugging in your Firestick into that tv as close as possible to the router and see if the issue happens. If it does not then get the extenders and hope they help.
