Streaming live events, like Netflix’s recent Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul boxing match, can be unpredictable. Many viewers experienced buffering issues, while others couldn’t access the event until much later. These issues show how challenging it can be to stream live content. Factors like infrastructure limitations and timing can disrupt the experience.

As Netflix prepares to stream NFL games, including the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day, viewers are hoping for a smoother experience. While you can’t control the streaming platform’s challenges, there is one thing you can control: your home network.

The final link in the chain is your home network. To ensure smooth streaming, you need a high-speed internet connection (100 Mbps minimum) and a reliable wired and wireless home network. These elements will prevent additional problems and keep your streaming experience enjoyable.
