I experience regular buffering problems with Netflix and Disney, for example. Would it be better to move the router upstairs (by using a longer cable from wall connection to the router) or leave the router where it is and connect the router to the Stream puck with a longer Ethernet cable?</P> Thu, 18 Jan 2024 15:48:15 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Stream/Netflix-buffering-midway-through-film/m-p/4540164#M16297 Marcus+cash 2024-01-18T15:48:15Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Stream/Netflix-buffering-midway-through-film/m-p/4540183#M16298 <P><a href="https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2664473">@Marcus+cash</a>&nbsp;another option, which saves you moving the router or having a long ethernet cable trailing through the house is to purchase powerline adapters.
