Are there telltale signs you are at your connection limit?

I'm having issues with IPTV playing on my bedroom Firestick, but only after I watch first on my Smart TV. Makes me wonder if I'm running into a connection limit issue?

A little more background info. I have 2 connection sub. Both clients are Smart IPTV, on a FireStick and a Samsung TV. If I only start watching on 1 of these, it will stream just fine all day long.

Problems start if I watch some TV on the Samsung, shut it down and then go to the FireStick. Plenty of time it will work just great. A small percentage of the time, I get nothing but problems. Or rather a common problem. I open Smart IPTRV on the FireStick, it will start playing then within a few minutes the picture will freeze while audio continues. If I do antything at this point, it will just never connect. I've stopped the app, restored the FireStick, nothing at all will get content to play. Throughout other apps on the FireStick work flawless. Oh and I've also reset the stick to factory and reset it up.

Any ideas?

On my Firestick the 1st gen one I get buffering but as soon as I start playing it on a Fire TV or my SIPTV app it works perfectly.

I just put it down to the stick not being able to handle the quality of the streams because low quality streams work OK just the 1080 HD ones start buffering.

You’ll get freezes about every 5 minutes when you hit your limit.
