If you plan on streaming content via Firestick apps we recommend using a VPN. A VPN will anonymize your online activity, protect you from spying ISPs, and allow you access to geo-blocked add-ons and content.
We personally use IPVanish VPN and highly recommend it. You can Sign Up For IPVanish VPN Here or if you want to know more about why to use a VPN with Kodi Click Here
In this Step-by-step guide, I will teach you about “How to test your Internet speed on FireStick”. This tutorial can also be applied to Amazon Firestick 4k, Fire TV Cube, and other Fire TV devices. And the most exciting thing is this, that it applies to both Wired and Wi-fi internet connection.
Well, If you are facing buffering on FireStick, then I am sure that you would surely check your internet connection speed. A slow wi-fi connection not only tests your patience but also causes many streaming problems.
BUT, I have fetched out some of the easiest methods to check out your connection speed on Firestick/ Fire TV Cube. This is what I’ll show you in this tutorial.
Read Me: Trust me! you are not required to have a connection speed of 100 Mbps for butter streaming on FireStick. If you stream in 4K UHD, 20 Mbps is quite a nice speed.
