I'm trying to use it with my Amazon Fire Tv and it keeps stopping and buffering. Error message says not enough bandwidth to play without pausing?

I'm not sure, but I would think maybe not running fast speed enough to load without buffering alot? I have high speed through my satellite and have had no problems at all since my purchase. I am very happy with it. maybe check with your isp or the manufacturer.

I don't have a Fire TV, but I have Roku and a Kindle Fire HD, both work fine with the router. Your problem may be that you do not have enough bandwidth from your internet service provider. You should have at least 10 Mbps speed, I have 15 to 24 Mbps depending on the time of day. My devices only buffer on the start of a program. When I had a slower service (7Mbps) my shows were buffering every few minutes. The bandwidth problem is not your router but your internet service.

I don't know what you are using for a computer or how full your hard drive is. I'm running windows 7 in one computer while also using And older Vista as my second computer with a larger "LGL television being used for a screen and streaming. I installed a new "Net Gear" router and because my cable service was charging $10.00 a month for rentals, I returned and bought a Net Gear Modum also. We have Netflix and we also have Amazon Prime instant video and it all runs so smoothly it makes me wonder why Inpaid for cable services so long. My guess is, that it's something running in the computer in the background , not the modem or router, clean the computer first, then look at a movie ;-) I don't know what you are using for a computer or how full your hard drive is.

You can get the netflix app from amazon app store and it will work but the videos and the sound are not in sync. It's very jerky. I'm not sure if there is a way to make it work better or not.

I tried an optical cable and could not get it to work. I ended up going with an HDMI cable that was ARC compatible and haven't had any issues with sound while watching tv. When I watch Netflix or hbo go I sometimes have the volume cut out but I think that is the app

1. Yes, i have connected a cat 5 cable from my wireless router to my sony player and am able to surf the internet. 2. yes, it came pre~installed and was able to sign up but do not really use the service my self. even though I was successful in downloading a free movie. I really do not subscribe to netflix,I do not see any reason why it should not work if amazon video did. Crackle worked fine for me. Hulu is a subscription service like netflix and unfortunately I do not have any intention of paying for these services.

I have had the same problem. Plays iTunes videos only as far as I can tell. Unless I'm missing something, if you want to play Amazon videos, for instance, you're out of luck.

It does not currently have an Amazon Streaming Video application. If that is important to you then perhaps take a look at the Roku 3, or any other Roku model.

Two years later & Amazon Prime only tries to load via browser. Having problems getting Amazon Prime streaming video to NOT stutter badly. It doesn't work on my HTPC or my Logitech Revue. Works on a wireless laptop reliably though. :/

There is no Harmony Link app in the Amazon android store. I tried sideloading the apk, but the tablet still gave me an error "unable to run this app". Let the Logitech tech support know, hopefully, they will push out a version of their software for the Fire soon.

I have tested Netflix video from my Android tablet with no issues. Music from the same device is also not an issue and works great. From my Chromebook is a problem, stuttering etc.

If you side load flash and use Firefox browser yes . When at Amazon.com go to your movie list and make your selection, when it brings up the player it will say not compatible just scroll down until you get to the bottom and click where it says amazon full site and then enjoy. Oh if you select full screen in the player it plays full screen

Yes and no. All the major TV apps that I've tried work great (TNT, ABC, TBS...) but for Amazon your only option is a program called FlashFox Pro. Amazon's streaming runs on Flash Player and the FlashFox browser is the only one left on Android that runs Flash. The app is available on the Google Play store. Amazon says that they are working on an Android app, but they've been saying that for a while now. They've got one for iOS but since their Kindle Fire is in direct competition with all other Android tablets I'm not holding my breath. It's too bad because I'm a Prime member and I definitely feel cheated.

Mine works with out any problem. My question to you, is the same thing happening on your tablet? Are you able to watch the show on your tablet not connected? If not than it may be a bandwith problem. If you are able to watch the show on your tablet without the same problem, than you should contact the seller.

What about amazon video. This is really frustrating as I continue to wait as all of my Sony products stream Amazon without a hitch.

I just tried streaming (wired connection) with Sony BDP-BX37 and Sony BDP-BX57. Installed latest update on both. After a few minutes of streaming it pauses, gets into the "Loading, Please wait..." mode and doesn't resume at all after that. My internet provider was on the line running tests when it happens and didn't see any problem from his side. It happens not only with Netflix but with YouTube as well. I can stream fine from my PC, or from my Sony XBR9 TV. I am sure there is a major flaw in the firmware of the Sony BDPs. Maybe they don't work well with certain routers. I have a D-Link 624.
