HI,

u have a problem with wifi then...

.. router upstairs, tv downstairs is a bad arrangement, more so if router is at a dead corner spot or the tv is.
.. asus "UHP"... likely rtn12uhp - this is a few years old, N router (can't do ac 5 ghz), max 100mbps.
good router no doubt but difficult to do the job u need.
either u lay LAN cable which is a shit idea for most or u spend money to get a MESH network - Asus AiMesh or TP link Deco D5 or D9.
short of that, i suspect the most u get from the 300mbps is 10mbps, which explains why even netflix doesn't look good.
u can try with a better single router like AC86U or AC88U but hard to say if it will work well in yr case.

.. chinese dramas - try these:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/885170z6yvrs...TV_100.apk/file
https://apkpure.com/adrama/alphastudio.adrama
download and sideload on TV like u did with unifi@playtv.

movies/sports/tv shows... yr best bet is unifi@playtv and astrogo which are legit.
there are other ahem apps that can do but i do not wish to discuss here.

found my router name.. Asus RT AC1300UHP. should be quite good but the thing is it is at a bad position of the house... no choice. last time unifi people put it in my bed room for no fukcing reason

i am using this router... 2x2, quite good with 5ghz if distance not too far, not too many obstacles.

from one corner at one level to diagonal corner at another, that will be the worst... may get <10mbps.

u can test it with ookla app on phone tablet or the tv itself.

besides changing to 3x3 router or mesh routers, u can also try using another AC router as repeater, connect to TV with cable - this, maybe can get 30-50mbps.

Using phone on 2.4Ghz on ground level near TV, i am getting 30 Mbps but I downloaded a random speedtest (dont have ookla for some reason) on the TV and realized its only 2Mbps smhhh confused.gif confused.gif confused.gif

diff apps may give diff results.

it is also possible the wifi module of tv 2.4ghz is not so good.

i have another tv at a rather dead spot... can barely get enough wifi to work on netflix.

now using a repeater, 30mbps is good enough for just about all apps.

May you suggest some repeater models? I am new at this smart TV scene and trying my best to help out my parents in this area.

any router that has repeater mode will do.

most AC routers have this mode, only the cheapest ones don't.

if u can, find an old router to try first.

still, u need to find a decent spot for the repeater to get fair reception, yet not too far for cat5e/cat6 cable to connect to tv.

is this okay?
