1: Appropriate Internet Speed

Internet speed in the number one reason why you will experience buffering and freezing. Many customers even after advised by a professional still do not get an adequate internet package with the appropriate speeds to make their IPTV service experience fully enjoyable.

Wired connection: We recommend using at least 25Mbps if you are choosing to connect directly to the modem. If you do not have any other device connected you should be fine with this.

Wifi Connection: If you are connecting via wifi, depending on your home setup, we recommend 150Mbps. This will vary depending on where your modem is located in relation to your iptv box.

Products to improve your IPTV experience if connected wirelessly: Power-over-ethernet (1000Mbps preferred), Wifi adapters (300 Mbps or more)

2: Server Quality – Price and Quality Matters

Many people get caught up with the dirt cheap pricing and go with services that cost, $8 – $12. From experience, these systems may work for a little while, but at those prices don’t expect something long lasting. Because of the low price many people jump on board in large numbers and over time gets bogged down with traffic, and as a result will slow down, freeze and buffer. These cheap servers often also lack in customer service support.

For better server quality and speeds, a server costing you $15 – $25, with $20 being the sweet spot is your best bet. These top/premium servers generally have their servers well maintained, and provide fairly comprehensive customer service support.

3: Get Recommended Equipment

Getting the right equipment will determine how your service is pushed. It’s recommended that you get a box that the service provider recommends. Usually they already know the best options that run their system. However, beware and do your research first, and ask all the questions you can think of.

We recommend using dedicated IPTV boxes instead of Android boxes with emulators. Dedicated IPTV boxes are built for live streaming and more IPTV specific features and functions, with no programming required. Android boxes with emulators require programming, can be troublesome to fix and troubleshoot, requires you and is only as good as long as that app is active.

4: Ethernet Powerline Adapter / *Ethernet Over Power

This is probably one of the best solutions if you can afford the $70 – $100 tab.

Many people experience freezing and buffering because they connect their IPTV box to the internet via WiFi. An *Ethernet Over Power adapter helps with this. This device allows you to hardwire your IPTV box directly to a source feed and get near 100% the speed you get from your modem. There’s no set technical set-up required. Brands like Tenda and D-Link make it easy to connect. The device comes in two separate parts. All you need to do is to plug one part in to the nearest power outlet to your modem and connect it to the Modem with an ethernet cable. And the other part you plug into the nearest power outlet to your IPTV box and connect it to your IPTV box with another Ethernet cable. The package generally includes 2 Ethernet cables.
