i have the 65 inch. what's your issue exactly? Slow internet? buffering?

Might be the router? if you're using the wifi router issued by the ISP, consider buying your own router with better range. I'm using Google Wifi router with Converge as my ISP. Their router sucks. Weak signal. With Google Wifi, no issues so far.

I am on Skybroadband using their wifi modem. TV is on the 2nd floor but not too far. TV can still connect to the wifi. Can still watch YouTube and Netflix. But when it comes to watching 4k content, sometimes ok sya and minsan naman low quality.

yeah, sounds like it's your router. Try a wifi booster signal or get a router with higher bandwidth. something that can carry 4k files.

Thanks for the recommendation. Can you recommend one for me?
