TXRon · 2023-01-08T20:30:42.580Z

is it the max or a cheaper version?

johnwanda · 2023-01-08T20:31:53.755Z

4k max fully loaded so I have no clue what is going on with it I am not happy with it for sure

TXRon · 2023-01-08T20:32:50.428Z

it is strange, the max is the better version. You say 4 sticks all do the same?

johnwanda · 2023-01-08T20:34:01.081Z

Yes all of them upstairs and downstairs , I really wanted to get away from the cord and it seems that I might not be able to do that

TXRon · 2023-01-08T20:34:44.790Z

have you tested speeds on each one? And are you using a vpn?

I have 2 different VPN because I thought one would work on one of the programs on here to watch what I wanted because it said only this one vpn would work to watch this program. I do not run both of them at the same time.

TXRon · 2023-01-08T20:37:44.970Z

turn off the vpns and do a speed test(up and down) on each, post back

johnwanda · 2023-01-08T20:40:07.432Z

so I have one of the vpn on and the download speed is 67 and the up load speed is 14…and I just turned it off and did a speed test and now my download speed is 341 and my upload speed is 35

TXRon · 2023-01-08T20:41:34.406Z

vpn speed is ok for streaming. What apps are you using when it buffers or stops?

johnwanda · 2023-01-08T20:42:34.882Z

I hope I dont get in trouble for this answer Kodi and silk

TXRon · 2023-01-08T20:43:47.168Z

lol, no prob. I would leave kodi off till you get issues sorted. Kodi is intensive and has issues on its own.

Most likely this will solve your problem. Yes, it is more expensive, but it will be a one-time purchase and no need to keep upgrading to another device every year!

I still use my 2015, 2017, and 2019 Shields every day with no issues. In my house at least one of them is on 24/7 and no over-heating or calamities.

No fiddling around to add storage unless you plan on downloading/recording the entire Library of Congress! lol

Several things come to mind. Do not use USB power, only the brick and plug into house current. Be sure to use the HDMI extension and keep the stick away from the back of the TV for adequate air flow. Use fast task killer to clear apps running in the background.

I have tried to use troypoint 19.5 but it also does it. what app can I use to watch football and movies?

TXRon · 2023-01-08T20:45:27.517Z

@Miki the Fire King has entered the room

johnwanda · 2023-01-08T20:46:13.730Z

yes I have done all this

Miki · 2023-01-08T20:46:55.102Z

Make sure you keep the Max with as much free space as possible. I keep mine close to 3Gig by adding a USB sandisk 3.0 drive to put apps on. Dracoo gave the best links for you to read up on.

TP-Dracoo · 2023-01-08T20:47:03.042Z

Follow my links, you need to do some research and troubleshooting.
