Buffering issues

KitchBC — Sun, 20 Jul 2025 11:19:03 GMT

Anyone else have issues with buffering while streaming? Seems to be my TV struggles alot. Sky app suggests all connections are good etc and being in the same room less than 5m away shouldn't really be a connection issue. Does the max hub try to get smart with priority etc? Even then this has happened with only 4 devices connected and the other 3 idle. Pretty much daily occurrence since starting with sky but happened occasionally with old provider too.

No, but there's a manual option for subscribers to the WiFi Max subscription supplement.
