My Sky Stream puck buffers—whose fault is it?

Test another streaming service and the puck near the router or over Ethernet. A good gateway test plus poor puck Wi‑Fi indicates local connectivity; failures across services/devices may indicate broadband.

What to check

Puck RSSI/node; packet loss; gateway speed; service outage.

When to get help from a person

Escalate based on isolated fault domain.
