NETWORK SPEED NOT FAST ENOUGH (Gigabit!) ... constantly freezes/skips

So I am not sure what the issue has been these last four months.

Got a Sony X900E TV, connected directly via ETHERNET (10/100 on the damn TV I realized, not gigabit!) – after a year, I was kind of annoyed at the slow seeking performance and snappyness, and the 4k h265 remux streams sometimes crashing when fast forwarding (memory issue? I dont know), so I went and got a FIRE TV STICK 4k, running it on 5g upstairs.

the 1080p seems fine, but when playing 4k remuxes, i sometimes get “network speed not fast enough” and it buffers/freezes/choppy. I have ran immediately speedtests (on my phone) when this happens on the wifi 5g, and every time the speed comes back as over 300MBIT

I have a gigabit connection, I have also ran speed tests on my PC during this time, and consistnetly get 950+Mbit

so I am not sure what the heck is causing the Firestick / plex app on the firestick to constantly keep saying my internet is not fast enough and buffers… this only happens on 4k remuxes I find…

Please advise.

Buffering issue - network not fast enough

I get this a fair bit too. And kodi has no issues, and plex doesn’t have issues on other devices

Wish someone from the dev team would respond so this can be looked at…

I stumbled upon this thread:

where @ljunkie said to disable large file offload – I did, yet no fix.
