Speed Test Tips
Follow these tips to measure and improve your internet connection for stable IPTV streaming without buffering or interruptions.
Recommended minimum: 15–25 Mbps per stream, Ping < 40ms, Jitter < 15ms, Packet Loss 0%.
1) How to run a proper speed test
- Test on Ethernet first (wired connection), then on Wi-Fi 5 GHz if possible.
- Close all downloads or streaming apps during the test.
- Run 2–3 tests at different times of day (morning, evening) and take the average.
- Check not only download speed but also Ping, Jitter, and Packet Loss.
2) Understanding your results
| Metric | Good | Needs improvement |
|---|---|---|
| Download | ≥ 25 Mbps per stream | < 15 Mbps |
| Upload | ≥ 5 Mbps | < 2 Mbps |
| Ping | < 40 ms | > 60 ms |
| Jitter | < 15 ms | > 25 ms |
| Packet Loss | 0% | > 0% |
3) Improve your connection
- Use 5 GHz Wi-Fi instead of 2.4 GHz (stay close to the router).
- Best option: wired Ethernet or Powerline adapter if a cable is not possible.
- Restart your router/modem regularly (power off for 30s, then back on).
- Update your router firmware and change Wi-Fi channels to reduce interference.
- Enable QoS (Quality of Service) to prioritize IPTV traffic.
4) Extra tips
- Switch video player in your IPTV app (VLC, ExoPlayer, MX Player) and see which is more stable.
- Adjust buffer size in the app: increase if frequent freezing, reduce if long delays.
- Test with HD or Full-HD instead of 4K if your bandwidth is limited.
- Change DNS settings to Cloudflare (
1.1.1.1) or Google (8.8.8.8) for faster resolution.
5) What to send us if issues persist
- Screenshot of your speed test (Download, Upload, Ping, Jitter, Loss).
- Device and app used (example: TiviMate on Android TV Box).
- Time of issue, affected channels, and troubleshooting steps you tried.
