Disney+ keeps buffering on your smart TV
Disney+ needs a strong, stable connection. Move your TV closer to the WiFi router or plug it in with an Ethernet cable. Ask others to stop streaming, and check your internet speed on speedtest.net.
Disney+ streams high-quality video which needs steady bandwidth. When the connection is weak or shared with other devices, the app has to pause and wait for more data. Moving your TV closer to the router or using a wired cable fixes this.
