Nothing fixes Apple TV buffering

I’ve seen a lot of solutions for Apple TV buffering, but none of them work for me. If I restart my Apple TV, buffering might go away for 10 minutes but always comes back. And the worst thing is that every other device, including laptop, iPad, iPhone, my smart tv, is working perfectly with my internet connection, streaming everything in high-res without any problems. Only the Apple TV struggles constantly. What should I do?

What is your model Apple TV? Identify your Apple TV model - Apple Support


Is the Apple TV connected by Wi-Fi? Possibly the exact position where the Apple TV box is located, is more prone to interference.

Metal objects, metal in the walls, steel reinforcements, rolled up wiring, metal shelving unit, electrical equipment, cordless phones, neighboring networks – all these can cause interference and reduced Wi-Fi signal.

Use the Speedtest app to check what speed the Apple TV box is able to get from your home network. If it is more than 25 Mbps, then your Wi-Fi should be fine for this device.
