Netflix‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ buffering most of the time is caused by a slow or unstable internet connection, therefore, the very first thing you should do is power cycle your modem and check your internet speed. After that, if you are still facing the issue, reduce the streaming quality in the Netflix settings, turn off other internet-consuming apps or devices, delete the cache of the app (or browser cache), upgrade the Netflix app, and in case the problem continues, change to a wired connection or have a go at playing your video during off-peak ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌hours.

Buffering‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ on Netflix is most of the time the effect of a slow or unstable internet connection. Therefore, it is better to restart your router first, and then check your speed. After that, change the video quality in Netflix settings to a lower level. If you have other apps running or downloads in progress that are using your bandwidth, then close them. It would also help if you cleared your browser or app cache, and if you can, switch to a wired connection. Finally, update the Netflix app if the problem ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌persists.

Netflix‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ buffering most of the time occurs due to the internet that is slow or unstable, therefore, initially, you need to check your connection speed and restart your router; in case the problem is still present, then you need to close other apps that use bandwidth, reduce the Netflix streaming quality, update the Netflix app, remove its cache (on the devices that support it), and ensure that your device software is the latest ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌version.

To‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ stop buffering on Netflix you first have to verify your Internet with fast.com (HD 5 Mbps, 4K 25 Mbps). If everything is okay with the speed then Restart your modem and the device where Netflix is running, move nearer to the Wi-Fi router or connect a stable Ethernet cable for the best results.
