  1. Go to speedtest.net and check your internet speed right now to see if it’s a good speed at this moment in time
  2. Now turn off the firestick by pulling out the plug at the power socket
  3. Now turn off your Internet Router and wait a good 5 minutes
  4. Turn your router back on and wait again 5 minutes
  5. Now you can plug your amazon firestick back in the power socket and wait until it loads
  6. Now go back into HBO Max and try a movie or tv show and see if you are still getting buffering issues.
  7. If you are run another speed test on your home network using speedtest.net and see if you are getting the same speed as before

 

If the above has not fixed the issue with HBO Max and got it working then you must make sure there is nothing else on your home network taking up any bandwidth so check you don’t have anything like these running on your home wifi:

 

  • Torrent Downloading
  • Console Gaming Online
  • Other TVs Streaming 
  • Other people on your network
  • People watching Netflix or Youtube
  • Etc

These things above can affect your HBO Max streaming so it’s best to make sure no one else is using the network heavily while you are streaming HBO Max or definitely while you are testing the app using this guide.
