Not all apps buffer. Just one particular IPTV. My issue is I have the speed at the modem and the wifi in the room to a laptop and I had a system set up with an extender that worked for 3 months and then one with an access point that worked for 4 weeks and then suddenly the speed( to them only) is cut in half. I could run an ethernet cable outside the house, but I am curious as to why these systems stopped working.

Thanks, but the speed at the modem is fine and the wifi speed from the router is fine at my laptop at the same location. I realize the Firestick is not as receptive as my laptop's wireless card , but I have had 2 different systems (extender and access point) ethernet cabled to the firestick and they both worked fine for a period of time and then the wifi speed in the room dropped 50% for no apparent reason, only between the router and the extender/access point, not between the router and the laptop.

I'll try to keep this as short as possible. I have been using Ilox 70 mbs since April 2018. My TV situation changed about 8 months ago and I began to stream IPTV services using Firestick. I was having buffering issues so I did a test on the Firestick speed. My laptop would get 65- 70 mbs sitting next to the Firestick, but the stick would only get 30. I had a Netgear extender lying around so I got an ethernet cable adaptor for the Firestick and connected the extender and started getting 50 + mbs. The buffering issues disappeared. For 3 months, then the Firestick speed dropped to 30 while the laptop speed remained at 70. The Netgear was a few years old so, based on internet reviews I tried a TP Link extender, no difference. I decided to up my Ilox speed to 300mbs, thinking if I was getting a lower percentage of a larger number that would be enough. No difference. I had been using a Steren router since day one with no problem but since that was the only other end of the connection, I decided , based on internet reviews, to try a TP Link Archer 1750, still no difference. I decided to use the Steren router as an ethernet cable Access Point, and fortunately it had WISP protocol which made setting up a bridge extremely easy. I started to get 60 - 70 mbs at the Firestick while the laptop was getting 150 -250. No problems. That lasted about a month. Now I am getting 20 - 30, or less, at the firestick, while the laptop at the same location gets 150 -250. I should add that the router and the AP are in 2 different rooms with a large wide connecting arch between, so almost in the same room, direct line of sight 25 - 30 ft apart. Any ideas why the in room wi fi is dropping so drastically?

Could be. Everything on it is Spanish, but now that I compare directly with an English keyboard, all the cap strikes are not as indicated but where they should be on an English board.

On my Spanish keyboard @ is Shift 2 and ampersand is Shift 7 (even though the ampersand symbol is on the 6 key).

I think you mean Luzma Grande. Ariana Grande is a pop star. I don' t have her contact info but if you search here you may find it.

It's Yogi.

Because, as I said a few minutes ago, it was posted in the Mexico General section last week and has been discussed ad nauseam already. It's still there.

I think that was "sarcasm". You know, like some of our world leaders use.

You need to STFU.

Excuse me, I'm becoming confused. Perhaps you bosses would kindly get together and let us know which one of you is the true oracle on the mount and the one whose direction we should follow with blind allegiance. We humbly await the decision. Thanks.

Mercado Libre is the Latin American version of Ebay. Just google Mercado Libre Mexico and search for what you want. The vendors will be rated and will tell you what kind of payment they accept.

In times of stress and anxiety I find an unpleasant side of myself coming to the fore. I become excessively controlling and have the overwhelming need to have things exactly the way I want. I sometimes even become a scold. In order to alleviate these symptoms, please, I ask you people to listen up: Grow up. Please. You are all bickering like children. I am too old to be fond of children. Except for Mexican kids, they're about the cutest people I've ever seen. Please do not challenge me, my thinking process or my facts. No, do not. I know what you're thinking, but no. This is a serious situation, do not make light of it. However, I do like a good joke. If you have one, please tell it in such a way that I do not feel guilty. I want you to tell me how and where to buy my food, what masks I should wear, and when; what personal habits and hobbies I should have; and what personality traits you find most appealing. And yet I do not. I sense some protests coming my way now, but please remember number 2 above. And while we're airing things out, I beg you, some of you people, learn how to spell. And for God's sake, when you're in a grocery store, please wear a mask; but above all do not cough directly on the shelf items! Yeah, gramps, you, talking to you. Thank you for your time, I feel better already.

Would you care to share the names of those apps? I have multiple free ones but none are consistently reliable.

Yeah, Kodi's got a lot of issues, navigation being one of them.

Have you had reliable service with them? I see Firestick Tricks list them as an option. I 'm considering recommendations from them and Troypoint. Can you use Paypal with them? I'm a little leery of giving my credit card to some of these APK's.

I'm looking for anyone who is using or has used the Firestick streaming service formerly provided by the late Derek Young, and is interested in selling a firestick they are no longer using; or, alternatively, would be willing to share the names of the apps he was using, both free and paid, so I can program my own. I'm interested mostly in live tv. You can respond here or PM me. Thanks.

Johnny?

I've seen several articles about CV referencing this German risk assessment institute. The gist of it is that you can pretty much touch anything and if you wash/sanitize your hands before touching your face, mouth, eyes, ears and mucous areas, there will be no transmission. Of course, that last part is apparently the hard part. https://www.bfr.bund.de/en/can_the_new_type_of_coronavirus_be_transmitted_via_food_and_objects_-244090.html

I've pretty much been living like a hermit for the past 2 weeks, but I get the impression that if I do go out and interact some people are expecting me to wear a mask. First question, is there anywhere around here to source a useful mask? Secondly, any opinions on the actual utility of various masks? Internet research backs up old information that I had that the only real protective mask is the n95 which protects against aerosol type small droplet spray and some or most bacteria/viruses and which we are asked to reserve for health care workers. Surgical and other more penetrable masks are only advised for people who are actually sick (protects others from large droplet coughing/sneezing) or those caring at home for someone (better than nothing?). Somewhat recommended for long periods in a close environment (planes, etc.), but not with a lot of reassurance, and not recommended for just walking down the street. Also, most people I see wearing them touch them, adjust them, and often pull them down to converse with store clerks etc. which supposedly negates there purpose. Is it mostly a feel good type of thing?

The basic translation was given in the post above mod-3's.

SoxFan would you be willing to share the name of the paid iptv that you are using? You can pm me if you prefer. Thanks.

A version of this warning was posted on TOB a day or two ago and since then deemed most likely to be BS. There are tests that show CV can live for up to 3 days on surfaces, not 12 hours. Most viruses and bacteria thrive in warm conditions, that's why hospitals and medical facilities are kept so cold. Viruses spread in winter because everyone is inside together. When it gets warm people spend time outdoors, not so close, and more importantly, in the sun. UV kills viruses. The virus thrives in the human body which has a temperature of close to 100. To think an ambient temp of 85 will kill it makes little sense.

The last few times I used the taxi stand there I noticed they had the same portable chip reader everyone uses sitting on the counter, but I was using cash so I didn't try it out.
