It is known for its straightforward setup and user-friendly interface, making it an excellent choice for users.</p> <p>The device supports a wide array of applications available on the Amazon App Store as well as several <a href="https://www.firesticktricks.com/amazon-fire-stick-apps.html" data-wpel-link="internal">third-party apps</a>, providing access to diverse content.</p> <p>Overall, FireStick provides a fantastic streaming experience that appeals to entertainment enthusiasts.</p> <p>However, like any other gadget, the Firestick faces a few challenges. One common issue is buffering during playback. Many FireStick users experience this issue. Although the percentage of affected users is small, the vast user base means this small percentage represents a significant number of individuals.</p> <p>If you are experiencing constant buffering on your Firestick, this guide explores potential causes and offers practical solutions to improve your streaming quality.</p> <p>Whether the issue stems from Internet connectivity, app-related problems, or device settings, you will find detailed troubleshooting steps to resolve it effectively.</p> <div class="warning"> <p><span style="font-size: 16pt;"><span class="s2"><b><i class="fa fa-warning" style="color: red;"></i> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Attention, FireStick Users!</span></b></span></span></p> <p><span class="s1">Governments and ISPs constantly monitor your online activity, and accessing copyrighted content on your Fire TV Stick could lead to serious trouble. <strong>Currently, your IP <span class="show_user_ip"></span> is visible to everyone</strong>.

Here are some of the <strong>most common reasons why buffering happens on FireStick</strong>:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Slow internet connection</strong>: The recommended internet speed is at least 10 Mbps for 1080p and 20 Mbps for 4K streaming. If your <a href="https://www.firesticktricks.com/why-is-my-internet-so-slow.html" data-wpel-link="internal">internet connection is slow</a>, you will experience buffering issues.</li> <li><strong>ISP Throttling</strong>: If your ISP detects excessive streaming, it might occasionally reduce your connection speed.</li> <li><strong>Modem far from FireStick</strong>: If your FireStick is placed too far from your Wi-Fi modem, its signal strength will weaken, causing buffering issues.</li> <li><strong>Running low on RAM</strong>: It is not uncommon for FireStick to run out of RAM, and many unnecessary apps may be running in the background.</li> <li><strong>Running low on storage</strong>: Again, this is common among FireStick users. The device has only 8GB (16GB if you have the 2nd Gen 4K Max) of space, much of which is already used up by the OS.</li> <li><strong>FireStick overheating</strong>: If your FireStick is overheating, it will likely cause buffering issues.</li> <li><strong>Outdated FireStick OS</strong>: You may experience buffering issues when FireStick is running on an outdated OS.</li> </ul> <h2><span id="How_to_Stop_Buffering_on_FireStick">How to Stop Buffering on FireStick</span></h2> <p>The following are the<strong> solutions to stop buffering on FireStick</strong>:</p> <h3><span id="1_Restart_FireStick">1.

If your modem exceeds this, you may consider buying a Wi-Fi Extender.

Firstly, it doesn’t have to rely on the proximity of the router to the device. The Ethernet wire is plugged directly into your Amazon FireStick.</p> <p>Secondly, there are no obstacles between the router and the device. Many electrical and certain mechanical obstacles can weaken the Wi-Fi signal.</p> <p>You can control or even stop buffering on FireStick with a wired connection. To use a wired connection on FireStick, you can buy the <a href="https://www.firesticktricks.com/recommends/fs-resources" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Amazon Ethernet Adapter for Amazon Fire TV Devices</a> from Amazon.com.</p> <p>The internet/LAN wire and the power cable from your FireStick power adapter will go into the Ethernet adapter, and then a single cable from the Ethernet adapter will be plugged into your FireStick.</p> <p>Note that you DO NOT need to buy the Ethernet Adapter if you already get substantial network speed through your Wi-Fi connection.</p> <h3><span id="4_Clear_Up_FireStick_RAM">4. Clear Up FireStick RAM</span></h3> <p>Amazon FireStick devices have RAM ranging from 1 GB to 2 GB. It is enough for a streaming device, but not quite a lot. Such small memory tends to get used rather too quickly.</p> <p>Low RAM space is one of the culprits of the buffering you experience on FireStick. You will be surprised to know that some apps keep hogging the RAM even when you close them.</p> <p>You can clear up RAM space by simply closing the background applications. But how would you find which apps are running in the background? Force-closing all the installed apps individually is tedious and time-consuming.</p> <p>Thankfully, there is an app you can use to find background applications and close them. It is called the <strong><em>Background Apps and Process List</em></strong>. You can get this free app from the Amazon Store.</p> <p>Here are the steps to download the <em>Background Apps & Process List </em>app and to use it to close the background apps (alternatively, you can use the <a href="https://www.firesticktricks.com/task-killer-on-firestick.html" data-wpel-link="internal">Task Killer app</a>):</p> <p><strong>1. </strong>Go to the <strong>FIND</strong> option from the FireStick home screen and click <strong>Search</strong></p> <p><strong><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-83815 size-full" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20960%20540'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="find-search" width="960" height="540" data-lazy-srcset="https://www.firesticktricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/find-search-1.jpg 960w, https://www.firesticktricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/find-search-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.firesticktricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/find-search-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.firesticktricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/find-search-1-768x432.jpg 768w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" data-lazy-src="https://www.firesticktricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/find-search-1.jpg" /><noscript><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-83815 size-full" src="https://www.firesticktricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/find-search-1.jpg" alt="find-search" width="960" height="540" srcset="https://www.firesticktricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/find-search-1.jpg 960w, https://www.firesticktricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/find-search-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.firesticktricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/find-search-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https://www.firesticktricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/find-search-1-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></noscript></strong></p> <p><strong>2.

Use Real-Debrid for 3rd Party Apps</span></span></h3> <p>Real Debrid is a premium hoster that supports a wide range of third-party FireStick apps and <a href="https://www.firesticktricks.com/best-kodi-addons.html" data-wpel-link="internal">Kodi addons</a>.</p> <p>Usually, the apps and addons connect to the public servers. Such servers will allow access to just about anyone. As a result, they have a high influx of traffic. This, in turn, causes server slowdown, downtime, and buffering issues on FireStick.</p> <p>Real-Debrid, on the other hand, is a paid service that restricts server access to premium users.
