How to Stop Buffering on Firestick

Modem/Router Combo

Hello Everyone and Thank you for stopping by our blog, “How to stop buffering on Firesticks.” We are Devices (D3vicx), and we specialize in customizing streaming devices.

It’s really simple why your Firestick keeps buffering, you didn’t set up the device right. First, how did you set up your device?

Did you just plug it into your TV and log into your WiFi? You have to think outside of the box of just two simple steps. How many devices are already connected to your Modem/Router? Is this a Modem/Router you bought yourself or one you are renting from the internet company?

Why do you not have a mesh networking system?

Most likely because you don’t know what it is. It’s like having satellite dishes in your home. This takes a lot of wear and tear off of your Modem/Router. Too many devices logging onto this will slow down the Modem/Router. On top of that, if your WiFi is trying to travel through appliances this is going to be a problem.

Do you do monthly maintenance on your Firestick? Of course, you don’t. If you loaded this yourself you never thought about it. And if you bought this from someone, most likely they didn’t put an APK on the device to do this for you.

These little things are overlooked and yet at the same time, these little things stop your Firestick from buffering ever again.

Ways to set up your Internet with a Firestick

How WiFi Travels

Let’s talk about your internet first. Most likely you are using WiFi options.

See WiFi 5GHz, 6GHz, and 6EGHz don’t travel far. Let alone travel through walls very well. Only WiFi 2.4GHz can do all of that.

I know, crazy right?

2.4GHz travels as far as it wants and can easily go through walls. Then you have another option adding on a mesh networking system like Plume.

No, this is not a sponsor at all. Since I’ve dealt with these issues, I had to look up what would work. Getting a mesh networking system like Plume was my best option.

Plume Pods

I understood the idea of having satellites in the house and using the Plume as the WiFi to take the pressure off of the Modem/Router.

Once they started talking about the science behind the idea for Plume I was sold.

So what I’m saying is, you need a mesh networking system for sure. As for your modem/router, I’m looking into getting one I own and taking the rented one back.

The best setup to help stop buffering on Firestick

Amazon Ethernet Adapter

Here is a second option you can take if not the mesh networking system. You can add an Amazon Ethernet Adapter to the Firestick and then plug in the ethernet cable to give you an even stronger connection. It’s the strong connection for everything when you start to add on wires.

I know WiFi is cool. But when it’s too many devices on 1 modem/router wearing it down, it’s useless. Back to the Amazon Ethernet Adapter.

Look at getting an Amazon Ethernet Adapter so you can plug in an ethernet cable. This is pushing power directly to your device. The only thing is please remember that it’s only going to let you use 100Mb ethernet total.

With this, you can use a USB Power Cable to power the Firestick when on the back of the TV. Now, I noticed I’m talking about a Firestick. Which VPN are you using?

Which VPN are you using on your Firestick?

IPVanish

Here in New York City when streaming third-party APKs on a Firestick you now need a VPN. Please, don’t go looking for a free one.

They come at a price of your personal information and sometimes your location to third-party sites paying them for the information.

I also recommend IPVanish. It works on all devices even the Apple TV 4K and it works great with the Plume mesh networking system. See how all this information about setting up a Firestick ties in with one another.

No, not all VPNs are created equal. IPVanish stands out for being the first to work on a mesh networking system and the first VPN to make its way to Apple TVs since the death of SmartDNS.

Internet companies can now follow what you are streaming on Jailbroken Firesticks and Jailbroken Apple TVs. Here in New York City, when using a Jailbroken Firestick it’s been going on since 2018 that the internet companies are blocking the streaming. For Jailbroken Apple TVs it started in 2023.

So do yourself a favor and test out IPVanish, if you don’t like it cancel and get a full refund within 30 days. Yes, if you sign up they will send us a little money at NO extra cost to you.

Do you clean your Firestick?

Jailbroken Firestick Home Screen

If you bought your Firestick from someone, they didn’t hook you up with a deep cleaning APK which you need. And most likely if you loaded your device up yourself, you didn’t even know you needed one.

There are a few ways to clean your Firestick. Due to the low storage space, I recommend you do cleaning maintenance on your Firestick once a month. Make it a habit and you will notice you never have a buffering issue again.

On top of the deep clean, restart the device once a month. This helps keep the connection even stronger. All devices do need to be restarted from time to time so it’s best to add this in with the deep clean.

We here at D3vicx load 4 Cleaning APKs onto our Androids and Fire devices. Apple TV your clear cache is already set up automatically. Just remember to restart the device from time to time.

DangBei Assistant

The first APK is DangBei Assistant, really easy to use. Once you click on it to enter, just click enter again and it will start to clean up to 1,000 MB per clean. Sometimes you may have to do this twice before seeing the 99 in blue. The second is SD Maid, this one is great for helping clean your Kodi. It cleans out the apps and APKs you may have deleted but forgot to clear out their data.

The third is Fast Task Killer, great for freeing up the RAM in the background and the fourth is the Background Apps & Process List. Don’t get one from the shop it runs ads. This is to force stop all the APKs you have running in the background that you are not using. Last, restart the Firestick. This helps reboot the system on the Firestick and connect to the internet.

Use Downloader you can get these 4 cleaners from us for Free. DangBei: SD Maid: Fast Task Killer: Background Apps & Process List:

In Conclusion

Free Spotify Premium

With all this amazing information, there is no way you should have a buffering problem on any Firestick in 2024. Now if you are still having a buffering problem the last can be your internet is too slow.

I don’t know how to fix slow internet other than, pause the content you want to watch and let it load up some. Once half-loaded start playing it through. This should stop that problem.
