Double-check your Netflix settings • Finally, check the settings inside the Netflix web app itself to make sure you’re getting the maximum speeds.
• Dive into your Netflix account on the web, choose Your Account from the menu under your avatar, and then click on Playback settings. Select either Auto to have Netflix adjust the stream quality based on available bandwidth or High to force it to use the best quality that you’ve signed up for.
• Of course if our goal is to reduce buffering rather than get the best quality, you might have to knock the setting down a notch or two—even if it is just temporarily while your ISP sorts out problems on its end.
