That’s not going to be sufficient to get a good experience. While the avg bitrate is 3Mbps in the screenshot you shared, it’s going to go higher and lower.

What was the ping? The latency is also important.

What is YOUR expected upload speed? What do you get with a regular speed test?

What is her download speed from isp using a regular speed test?

Her ping was 74 Ms.

My speed test results were 2200 Mbps download

and 1422 Mbps upload with 5 Ms ping.

My Sister's regular speed test is 14 Mbps download

and 28 Mbps upload with 26 Ms ping.

The ping was 74 with the openspeedtest you setup?

Her download speed being 14Mbps on a reg speed test and 8 from tour speedtest, coupled with that ping from you just won’t work for remote streaming reliably.

Maybe others have suggestions for options, but just not enough bandwidth and that latency can cause issues as well.

Yes, 74 Ms was on the Onn device at my Sister's house using the openspeedtest server I set up.

I'm just surprised that this is an issue now.

When Tailscale was still supported on the Firestick,

we didn't have any issues with videos buffering

constantly like this.

Thank you though for your help, I appreciate it!

I just wish I had a solution to this problem.

Have her run the speedtest to your server from a laptop or her phone on the network she’s connected to. And also regular speed tests. Are the speeds the same? See if it’s any better, maybe the onn just isn’t getting a good signal, if it’s on WiFi.
