📺 Getting the Best Streaming Quality for 4K and HD

Speed Requirements for Streaming

• 720p HD — 3–5 Mbps per stream
• 1080p Full HD — 5–8 Mbps per stream
• 4K Ultra HD — 15–25 Mbps per stream
• 4K HDR (Netflix, Disney+) — 25 Mbps per stream

Fixing Buffering and Quality Drops

1. 1Connect your smart TV via Ethernet (most smart TVs have an ethernet port on the back).
2. 2If using Wi-Fi, ensure the TV is connected to the 5 GHz network, not 2.4 GHz.
3. 3Move the router closer or use a Wi-Fi extender if signal is weak at the TV location.
4. 4In the streaming app settings, set quality to 'Auto' or 'High' — some apps default to lower quality.
5. 5Restart the streaming app (not just minimize it) to clear buffered low-quality segments.
6. 6Restart your smart TV weekly — memory buildup slows streaming apps significantly.
