5. Close all instances of your browser then relaunch the browser and try again.

Video playback is very slow

There could be a number of causes resulting in slow or interrupted video playback. In general, if you’re connecting over Wi-Fi and experiencing constant rebuffering or other issues during playback, try moving your router to another location and away from other devices that may cause electrical interference.

We recommend the following:

• Move your wireless router to a more central location of your home.
• Move your wireless router to an elevated surface such as a desk or on top of a bookshelf.
• Clear clutter from the vicinity of your wireless router.
