Twitch Keeps Buffering

[in4sit]

I have tried everything I can, using cloud share ips, cleared internet browsers data and history, etc but still buffering.

I have a NETGEAR CAX30-100NAR AX2700 Nighthawk router. Using the most updated firmware.

Any ideas?

I don't know about anybody else, but I have no idea what you mean by "Twitch Keeps Buffering". Is this some sort of gadget or other?

Doesn't seem to be something that has cropped up here much.

Search - NETGEAR Communities – twitch

What makes you think that this has something to do with your modem/router?

This place is for help with Netgear devices. If you have a problem with something else, then you should ask the people who make it for help. Then, if they tell you to make some changes to your modem/router by all means seek help here.

While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.

You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

Cable Modems & Routers

You might like to search there for messages related to your problem.

In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.

Check for various troubleshooting tips.

You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.

Are you trying to do your own stream on twitch or watch someone elses twitch? 

Do they both buffer/stutter? 

What download AND upload speed do you pay for? 

Reason I ask is I see it a lot where people are paying for plenty of download speed but only getting 5mbps on the upload. For many things its fine but if you're doing your own live streaming on twitch, it might not be enough capacity as the upload is much slower than the download.

No reason to be rude, Twitch- Twitch, as in Twitch TV, where people go and stream games, etc.. 

I am not sure if it has anything to do with my modem, thats why I am here... 

I have tried ALL other sitting that I can do in windows, DNS, firewall, issues, and again, that is why I am here, not sure if its setting on the modem that I need to change.

Again, this is a place where we can reach out to other Netgear users for help, or to see if other users have had the same issues.. again, that is why I am here.

I have searched for this issue, on Google, Youtube, and other sites and have followed instructions on trying to fix it and it has not worked.

No, not trying to steam anything, just trying to watch things at this point.

The video will load and about 2 minutes in to watchting, the buffer circle comes up and spins, for about 20 seconds, video starts playing again for about 10 seconds, and goes back to buffering.

Speeds are- Download, 750.76 mbps and Upload is 39.06 mbps.

Attached picture is the "buffering" circle.

Apologies for trying to elicit useful information about what the heck you were taking about.

The first thing do when someone asks for help on a new topic is to search this place. Sadly "twitch" got me nowhere that made sense.

I would have thought that Twitch TV would be the place to ask for advice on the best settings to use, regardless of the brand of router. Clearly, this technology isn't widely used around here.

Are you streaming over 2.4gh? 5gh?
do you get the buffering if you hardwire the device in? 

[in4sit]

Hardwired in sir.

[plemans]

So you're streaming off someone else's live view? 

Does it happen on all devices? 

Does it happen only to specific user's? 

Just curious if its actually yours buffering or the person your linking to having buffering as live streaming is more sensitive and doesn't have much for buffers.
