Slow Netflix download after receiving and installing new hughesnet router
- 6 years ago
If you're downloading the items directly from Netflix and using the Netflix app to do so, it's possible that the system is still seeing the items as a stream, and therefore throttling your speed during the download. If this is the case, turning off (or pausing) the Video Data Saver may help.
If the above doesn't apply, or it doesn't help, it would be a good idea to perform some speed tests using the protocol listed here during the times you would normally be attempting the Netflix download(s).
If you are not using the Netflix app for the downloads, please let us know how you are downloading them, as this may make a difference as to how to proceed with troubleshooting.
Edit: I should add that, if the device you are using for the downloads is connected via WiFi, it would be a good idea to try it via LAN cable connection, if possible.

I turned off the video data saver and will let you know if that worked.
Thank you very much.
