IPTV buffering via WiFi/LAN but not when using mobile data

by TMLtickets

Hi,

I have a peculiar problem. When trying to play/stream some channels (especially the ones with AC3 5.1 sound) if buffers too much (every few seconds). That happens only if I'm connected to my ISP via WiFi or LAN cable. If I connect my Nvidia Shield wirelessly to a mobile hotspot, that channel works flawlessly (prebuffers 10 times more than previously described).

​

Can somebody explain why is that happening?
I'm using Perfect Player on Nvidia Shield. Everything updated. I have optic fibre connection 200/100 mbit (ping 2m/s).

​

Thanks for all of your help!

Seems like your ISP is routing traffic through a congested path. Try doing a "trace route" on both providers to see the difference and where the latency is happening.

Thank you guys for your help. I tried installing ExpressVPN andorid app and it gave me 7 days trial. I found an optimal server and now the IPTV works as it should be. Thanks once again!

That is traffic shaping. Try and use a good VPN. I recommend IPVanish, NordVPN or ExpressVPN.

isp blocking...you do speed tests till the cows come home and have a t1 and it won't help...find a new provider or use vpn

Try running a speed test on fast.com but your issue is likely going to require a vpn

...Have you tried your service with a different app on your shield such as IPTV Extreme to completely eliminate PP as the issue?
