7 maneras de solucionar las interrupciones de videos al hacer streaming

Restart your router.

Restarting the router (also known as power cycling) clears the cache (think of it like your device's hidden memory), which can boost performance. Resetting the router can help, too; this just restores the device to its default settings. However, if you do this, you have to reconnect phones, computers and some other devices.

Update your streaming device or app.

Don't ignore update prompts on your phone, tablet or TV. That new software might just fix the problem that's glitching your streaming or slowing a device, and updates often improve security, too.

Switch to 5.0 GHz.

If you have a dual-band router, you have two channel types to choose from: 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz. The 2.4 GHz channel is more common, so if you switch to the 5.0 GHz band for streaming, you might compete with fewer connections. One catch: the 5.0 GHz channel is actually faster than 2.4 GHz but its range is more limited, so you have to keep your streaming device closer to your router.

Move back to a direct connection.

Hard-wired Ethernet connections still beat Wi-Fi in terms of performance. A new Ethernet cable can support speeds of up to 1 Gbps, nearly 7 times faster than the speed of a typical home wireless router. If you can’t wire directly to your internet, give your performance a boost with a Wi-Fi extender.

Boost your internet service provider.
