Hey guyz,

As the title says this is regarding my internet connection.

I have 50mbps connection, though while checking on fast/speedtest the speed remain consistent 46-48mbps.(both down and uplink).

But it keeps on buffering live tv ,video calls and now a days even youtube videos.

I tried ping (being a noob) ,m getting response no packet loss observed.

What could be the reason of buffering?

Try to reset your router once and use it normally.

Tried speed test (Real*) via LAN connection? If it is normal here then some issue with the router/settings but in the event of same network issues (even with LAN) then its the ISP that needs to be blamed (Try checking the same live tv, video calls and youtube videos with a fast VPN.. these should work fine)

No, not over lan, tried speedtest over wifi.

Note username, password, service name (if applicable) and MAC ID before resetting.

Take settings backup before resetting a router so incase even after entering the details if you can't access internet, you can restore via that file and good to go.


I would suggest try different router from a friend, take backup via file, reset, enter your settings, change MAC ID as that of your router and try speed test or check buffering issues.

At what resolution are you playing youtube videos?  Try to connect to 5ghz wifi band for better speed.

Resolution set on auto, so normally it plays 1080p, but from the past 10-15 days, m facing such buffering issue.

Isn't it possible for the ISP to restrict speeds to some domains? Make sure your ISP is not doing anything like that.

Some things to try:

  • Do you have a 5ghz network as well? Connect to that and try
  • Are there too many devices using the internet? Not just speed, but there can also be a bandwidth traffic jam if there are too many devices using the same network
  • Can you connect via LAN? Is that better than WiFi?

Are you seeing this issue across all devices? Or some devices/apps/websites?

Maybe they are throttling your speed and have kept speed test websites as exception.

Try VPN and custom DNS.

Check torrent speeds.
