FireStick Problems Accessing Streaming Apps

[Hal0003]

Have been using Amazon FireStick 4K for over a year with little problems accessing streaming apps. 

I discontinued Fios TV service in June 2022 and upgraded from 150 to 300 Mbps data speed.

Now, several streaming apps no longer have access when selecting movies or program episodes.  Firestick screen take long time to fill in the movie and app information, many graphic information is slowly added.

Fios data rates are 300 Mbps download and +200 Mbps upload speeds on ethernet and WiFi is +25 Mbps.  Firestick is under 6 feet from WiFi router, which has not changed.

Is it a Fios or Firestick data interface problem?

Make sure the Firestick is connecting to the 5Ghz network, not the 2.4 Ghz network. That close to the router there is no reason to use the slower 2.4Ghz network.
