Netflix keeps buffering! The app says that I have good speeds, it even says that my connection is good for 4K video but Netflix keeps buffering on my TV in my bedroom downstairs.

Make sure the tv is connected to the 5ghz band. 

2.4ghz is sensitive to interference and is a much slower network than 5ghz.

You have the W21?

What modem is it connected to? 

What speeds do you pay for? 

What device is running netflix? (smart tv? roku? appletv?)

Is it connected to the 2.4ghz or the 5ghz?

How far from the router/satellite is it?

Hello Where the Wild Pings Are,

Is this happening just with Netflix or any other streaming apps, is it affecting other devices such as: computers, cell phones, another TV? Have you ran any sped test ,if so, how much are you getting ? 

Thanks for your answer in advance.
