How to Fix Buffering & Freezing Issues on MiSoi, NexTVision, or Buck TV App

1. Clear Cache Regularly

   • Cause: MiSoi, NexTVision, or Buck TV App may accumulate cache files such as thumbnails, links, and other data to speed up loading. This can cause performance issues if too much unnecessary cache builds up.
   • Solution: Clear the app's cache every time you launch it, especially if you’re not watching the same content often. Clearing the cache is quick—only takes 5 seconds—but can significantly improve the app’s performance.

2. Reboot Your Device

   • Cause: Devices can consume too many resources, leading to performance slowdowns.
   • Solution: Restarting your device helps resolve many minor issues. Unplug the device, wait for 10-30 seconds, and plug it back in. Afterward, restart the app.
   • Tip: For Android boxes, it's a good practice to turn them off when not in use.

3. Reboot Your Router

   • Cause: Your router could be experiencing temporary issues, which might cause buffering or connectivity problems.
   • Solution: Unplug the router for 30 seconds, then plug it back in and test the connection. This often fixes freezing and buffering issues.

4. Test with a Mobile Hotspot

   • Cause: The issue might be related to your WiFi or ISP.
   • Solution: Try using a mobile hotspot from your smartphone to connect your device. If the streaming works fine using the hotspot, the issue likely lies with your WiFi or ISP.
   • Alternative: You can install an IPTV player on your phone and try streaming with the WiFi turned off. If this solves the problem, the issue is with the WiFi or ISP.

5. Open Port 8080 in Router/Firewall

   • Cause: Your router or firewall may be blocking the IPTV streams.
   • Solution: Open Port 8080 in your router and firewall. Here’s how:
     • Visit YouGetSignal's Port Forwarding Tester and check if Port 8080 is open.
     • If it's closed, you’ll need to open it on your router/firewall.
     • Search online for guides like "Port forward router [Manufacturer and Model]" or "Open port in Windows firewall" for detailed instructions.

6. Check for Throttling by Your ISP

   • Cause: Your ISP might be throttling your connection while streaming content.
   • Solution: Test your internet speed using fast.com (Netflix's speed test tool).
     • If your download speed drops below 15 Mbps while streaming, it's likely that your ISP is throttling your connection.
     • Solution: Use a VPN to bypass throttling and improve streaming quality.

7. Wi-Fi Interference

   • Cause: Streaming over Wi-Fi can suffer from interference from other networks or devices, leading to buffering.
   • Solution:
     • Try changing the Wi-Fi channel to one with less interference.
     • Move the router to a different location with fewer obstructions and less interference.
     • Consider using a Wi-Fi extender to boost your signal.
     • If your router is outdated, consider getting a newer one or ask your ISP to replace it.

8. Install a VPN

   • Cause: Port 8080 might be blocked, or your ISP could be throttling your connection.
   • Solution: Installing a VPN on the device used for streaming can bypass these issues, allowing you to stream without having to open ports on your router. A VPN is also a good solution if your ISP is throttling the connection during streaming.
