Stop buffering on a Firestick

Fire TV sticks sit behind the TV, which can block Wi-Fi. In order of impact:

1. Use an Ethernet adapter for Fire TV — the single biggest improvement.
2. Use the HDMI extender that came in the box to move the stick away from the TV.
3. Connect to 5 GHz Wi-Fi, not 2.4 GHz.
4. Restart the stick weekly: Settings → My Fire TV → Restart.

Prevent overheating and slowdowns

• Power the stick from the wall adapter, not a TV USB port — underpowered sticks throttle.
• Clear the app cache: Settings → Applications → Manage Installed Applications → [app] → Clear cache.
• Uninstall apps you do not use to free storage.
