IPTV Bandwidth Requirements

Recommended Speeds

• SD streaming — 3–5 Mbps
• Full HD streaming — 10–15 Mbps
• 4K streaming — 25 Mbps+

These are per-device figures — a household streaming on multiple devices at once needs the sum of each device's requirement.

Wired vs WiFi

A wired ethernet connection is more stable than WiFi for streaming devices that support it (most Android TV boxes and some Firesticks). If you're buffering on WiFi despite a fast plan, try moving closer to the router or switching to 5GHz.
