Make sure most if not all the tips below your following you will have the device set up to receive the best IPTV streaming with fewer issues.

1. Make Sure You Have A Suitable Device To Stream IPTV

Most devices on the market now can stream IPTV fine and have enough processing power (CPU) and memory (RAM) to do so but if you’re new to IPTV we highly recommend using an Amazon Firestick there are normally the best devices followed by the more expensive Nvidia Sheild.

Just be sure your IPTV device is new and not old or you’re trying to use a satellite box as an IPTV device using plugins such as the XtreamUI IPTV plugin due to satellite boxes having small processing power so will cause you issues.

2. A Good Solid Connection

Make sure if your wireless router has a 5.0GHZ network you join this instead of 2.4GHZ as 5.0GHZ is more optimized for streaming such as IPTV, Netflix, Youtube, etc.

You will also want to make sure your IPTV device is close by to the router and there is no interference between your wireless router and IPTV device otherwise this can cause the streams to freeze.

Ideally, it’s better to have a device you can hard wire to the router using an ethernet cable but if this is not possible Wifi will work fine just be sure to have as close the router as you can and no interference between the devices.

Be sure not to use an old device maybe 5-7 years old or more as the actual Wifi module inside your IPTV device can weaken over the years so always look to replace your IPTV device if you notice degradation over the years with its wireless connection. (This is easy to check to see if you losing the Wifi signal in settings over the years.)

3. Try To Use Just One Device When Using IPTV

Nowadays this is becoming less of a need due to most household internet getting faster with speeds of 100Mbps, 300Mbps even 500+Mbps but some of you may only have an internet speed of 10Mbps which can be quite low.

You can easily test your IPTV speed by going to the URL below

https://fast.com

You will want to see an internet speed of ideally over 20Mbps this will be the ideal speed for IPTV if you have lower you will need to be careful of using other devices in your household while watching IPTV as IPTV does not compress the streaming data to match your internet speed such as the likes of YouTube and Netflix.

So if you do have a lower internet speed just make sure you don’t have many other devices on your same home wifi which is taking the bandwidth too as this will cause a bad IPTV experience.

4. Make Sure To Use A VPN

It’s more important to use a VPN with IPTV in today’s time as this will not only help your IPTV from not being blocked by your internet provider when sports are on.

See more about internet blocking and IPTV HERE.

But having a VPN will stop your internet provider from doing a method called bandwidth throttling in the evenings and weekends which will cause your IPTV to freeze and stutter.

Bandwidth throttling in a nutshell is what internet providers do to slow down their network for any users who are consuming higher data this helps them lower network congestion which can help their network but will slow your internet down in peak times if you stream a lot so using a VPN will resolve this and stop this from happening.

We recommend using the VPN below and saving over 82% OFF and always use it while using IPTV for the best performance of your IPTV.

Bonus: Things Not To Do With IPTV

1. Use Phone Data To Watch IPTV

Remember previously we said IPTV does not compress data so when you are watching a 1080p stream (which most IPTV streams are) you will be using anything between 3-5GB of data per hour or if some streams you watch are 720p you will use between 1-3GB of data per hour.

So unless you have a decent mobile plan of 30-50GB it will use up your data fast but you can certainly use it to catch a sports game or an important TV show just be aware of the data it will consume above.

Also, mobile data is not the best it will work on 4G but may freeze, and will be much better using 5G but again your mobile data provider will have things in place to start throttling your network over time so just be aware.

2. Guard Your IPTV Details

If you allow anyone to connect to your laptop via something such as Teamviewer etc be sure you have your IPTV details hidden this is due to anyone can copy it and use and this will cause you very bad freezing as when they try to watch and you try to watch it will keep kicking you off then allowing the other person then kicking them off and allowing you so this will cause bad freezing every 2 seconds and make IPTV unwatchable.

Another point to add to the above is to make sure you choose a good username and password if you can choose your own when signing up for iptv something like.

username = john93839

password = 89483903

Rather than this below

username = john

password = john123

This is due to many IPTV provider’s servers getting scanned by bots that try to test easy-to-guess usernames and passwords such as anything in the dictionary with a few numbers in and once they see one that works it will get shared online which is your username and password and this will cause freezing every 2 seconds so be sure you choose a good username and password ideally one with many numbers in both.

Ok, that’s it if you follow the above you will be sure to get the best IPTV streaming experience you can from your IPTV provider.
