Smart TV Connection
Hey everyone, I have a smart TV that is approximately 10 feet from my satellite. For some reason it continues to try and connect to the 2.4 GHz channel on my Orbi. There is a lot of lag in bufferin...
My current speeds from ISP are 100/10. I observe 112/11.5 on average throughout the house. All other devices connect appropriately. The fire staticky is not loaded with Kodi. It is stock. There shouldn't be any interference between the satellite and the fire stick. My Wi-Fi readings from my phone all read high however I'm not sure if I am connected to 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. There is no way for me to connect to either of them exclusively. The fire stick is the only device in the house that suffers from lag or buffering. I do not have any baby monitors are cordless phones That I can see interfering with the 2.4 GHz signal I just wonder why I can't force the fire stick to connect to 5 GHz. That is why I bought the device. Her TV only connects to 2.4 GHz
Try moving the satellite in relation to the Fire Stick and see if that helps. Try a few different locations closer and farther away, and at different angles.
Drake. Your going to think I'm nuts, but are you using the extender with the fire stick ? If you ar etry removing it and plugging the fire stick straight into the HDMI Port.
All the Best,
