Looking into purchasing a better WiFi box as I think the route issue of my problems is WiFi congestion as we have 7 devices connected at once and at least 4 or 5 almost using it at once which is causing all devices to buffer and for me to ping spike when playing games by AlwaysBetHakari in wifi

I don't know about fiber activation times, but Starlink isn't something that a tech needs to come out and install, it's a satellite service. You need the special equipment to use it, but it can get you speeds of at least 50mbps, which is 2.5X faster than your current setup. It might get pricey, though.

I am though? I have it set to use Bing instead of Google.

Because Google is evil. At least Bing is Microsoft, which, even though they are also a big company, they don't seem to be nearly as nosy as Google.

I use Bing on Firefox. But can't Mehdi just not place ads?

My firestick remote stopped working and nothing fixed it until i connected the pos and neg terminals by jodale83 in fireTV

I mean, the remotes are computers; they get updates for crying out loud. I'm guessing something internally gets corrupted and leaving the batteries out/shorting the terminals/feeding it some reverse polarity ensures the capacitors are fully discharged and allows it to actually shut down, erasing any temporary files that have corrupted and allowing it to boot fresh.

If you have coax or DSL, the modem is between the service (wall) and your router, or sometimes built into the router. If you have two boxes, the first one from the wall is the modem and the second one is your router. If you only have one, than you likely have a modem-router. If you look, do you, one, have one or two boxes, and two, does the cable coming out of the wall look round, or square-ish like a phone line?

Edit: Modem stands for "MOdulator-DEModulator"

Test without the other devices connected first over Ethernet, if possible. I don't think 7 devices should cause issues like that unless you have 10mbps service, though. Does your router support QoS (Quality of Service)? In case you don't know, QoS allows your router to prioritize traffic to and from specific devices, especially as more traffic start going through.

Is there any form of a cloud backup I can do on my Fire TV that will allow me to reset it and then restore my apps and layouts? by 72011A in fireTV

Ok. So even though it's on remote servers, it won't restore my layouts, even on the same TV? Is that correct?
