iPhone buffering

DaveKMoore — Tue, 28 Jan 2025 02:09:43 GMT

51Mbps everywhere in the house now with the Sky 60Mbps with fibre to the box and then copper to the house. So that's all good.

But quite a bit of buffening when wathing videos on iPone 11.

Is this a limitation of the phone?

Or is there something I can do?

@DaveKMoore try using the phone closer to the hub and make sure the hub hub is out in the open on surface not on the floor. There can be areas of your home with poor wifi a useful app for avoiding those is WiFi Sweetspots which shows the speed between the phone and the hub in real time.

Thanks Chrisee

The router is now 5ft off the ground.

The speed is nominally 60Mbps. WiFi Sweetspots sees quite a large variation - between 64Mbps and 800+Mbps!!!!
