I like Plex, But it seems to need strong wifi

Have you guys also experience the “buffering” while watching a movie from plex. Is it because of the Wifi issues?

It could be. A really high bitrate file could have parts that are too much for wifi (depending on what sorta wifi you have) It could be that transcoding is needed and the server machine is not fast enough to do so.

Try using an ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi. That’s what I did and no buffering

As a general networking rule of thumb, use wired cables as much as you can and as little wireless as you can get away with.
