Optimize Wi-Fi to Stop IPTV Buffering

Even fast internet can buffer if Wi-Fi is unstable. These steps improve signal strength, reduce interference, and prioritize IPTV traffic on your network.

Switch to 5 GHz where possible

5 GHz Wi-Fi is faster and less congested than 2.4 GHz. Use it for streaming devices if signal strength is strong.

Choose a clean channel

Use your router app or a Wi-Fi scanner to find the least crowded channel. Avoid overlapping channels in busy apartment buildings.

Improve router placement

Place your router in an open, central location. Avoid cabinets and large metal objects. Reduce distance between the router and the streaming device.

Enable QoS for IPTV devices

Quality of Service settings prioritize streaming traffic so IPTV stays stable even when other devices are downloading.
