tv perfect downstairs, wife upstairs buffers

Using my smart tv downstairs to stream anything is fine. Upstairs using the wifi, gaming is fine but when I try to stream movies, my tv does nothing but buffer. Can this be fixed?

@user_3xyyfv What device is hooked to the TV that is having the buffering problems? Or is it the built in apps? What brand TV or streaming device used? Where is your WIFI router located? Is this a new problem or has it always done that?

It is a large screen tv. Wifi is located downstairs in my office. It only began after a reconnection from the downed lines during Hurricane Milton.

@user_3xyyfv Sounds like a service issue. I would run diagnostics in the Xfinity app and check your speed. I imagine it might take a bit for them to get their network back up to snuff after the storm. An Xfinity expert should jump in this thread to diagnose with you further. You might want to post something I the Internet forum also.
