Reduce bandwidth-hogging apps

On your device:

  • Close background apps like:

    • Cloud backup

    • Auto-updates

    • Streaming in background

  • Disable auto-start apps.

On your network:

  • Limit other devices streaming in HD/4K.

  • Use Quality of Service (QoS) settings in router to prioritise your device or apps (e.g., work apps over Netflix).
