Does WatchESPN work better on Fire TV than the Fire Stick?
Posted on 9/2/17 at 5:22 pm

My WatchESPN app is jittery and buffers way more than I'd like. I'm running 60mbps right now with a new wifi router. Any other app (Netflix, Amazon movies) runs just fine with zero issues.
But football is almost not watchable. When plays start developing, it's like it starts skipping ahead through the play.
Any thoughts?

Yes.
However, it works great on my firestick for now.
Anybody else in the house stream movies at the same time?

Everything works better on Fire TV

IIRC, firetv has more memory than the stick so almost everything performs better on it

Streaming anything over wifi is a crapshoot. Hard wire that shite to your router with an Ethernet cable.

As mentioned, fire TV will do everything better, but that may not be your only issue.

I had issues with the app yesterday on Apple TV. Streams were much better on DTVNow.

I was having buffering issues with fire stick yesterday. After a restart it worked much better.

This. The fire sticks especially seem to have crappy wifi reception.
I have my all of my fire TV 's plugged directly into my routers

I'm running my wifi from a TP-Link router. The reviews on it say it's great for everything except live sports.
Any advice on what router to get for Charter Spectrum?
I'm also thinking about getting a Fire TV and running an Ethernet across the house. Gotta have smooth football games.

Yes.
On the stick dumbing down to 720 helps.

I have a TP Link Archer C7 AC1750 Dual Band. I have my Firestick connected to the 5G band, and the tablets/phones connected to the 2.4G band. I also have the Mac connected to 5G, but we're never using it while watching TV. WatchESPN runs fine. My router is one floor up from the stick, but only about 12 feet away. I have no buffering issues or image quality issues. They're around $80 on Amazon.

Mine won't give me the activation code on my Fire Stick for some reason so I can't watch it. It used to work fine. It worked better than streaming it on the Xbone with ethernet cable. I'm so frustrated that I can't get it working on my firestick right now.

My Roku's have 0 buffering over wifi. Better routers will fix that problem

Same here. I don't have anything currently connected with Ethernet that I stream on. I had an old BluRay player in the kids playroom that could stream Netflix and amazon content, but took that out a few weeks ago when moving furniture around. I rarely have streaming issues. I just with Netflix and Disney would get it together and not have their apps sign out. I've signed into ESPN once. It stays logged in.
