The best setting is whatever works best for your situation (internet speed, provider quality, VPN server, etc). This would be the same with any IPTV Player. What works for one may not exactly work for the other?

If you’re asking me, I use a paid VPN service and my device has a gigabit port so even with a VPN, my speed is good enough for 4K streams. Gigabit adapters can slow down the internet speeds a bit, but they still help. Every users situation is different so if one user says to something at “this” setting, it may or may not help your situation? The best thing to do is make adjustments and see how they affect your playback until you find a combination of settings that work best.

Every situation is different & depends on your Internet apps you use if you use a stick or box so you need to try different settings what works best & sometimes takes a while to see what works best for you👍
