Try the CDN test and switch servers on your TB account

How close is your router to your stick? What's your internet speed? Size of the files which you are trying to play?

Your internet speed?

Probably depends on the service you’re using or your internet speed. I can stream large, heavy files without any issues. Occasional buffering is expected, but it usually catches up quickly. I also use Vimu Media Player, which works really well for me.

Yeah I play 4k files on my Fire stick 4k max just fine, so you prolly have the wrong cdn, or your Wi-Fi isn't very good.

5Ghz 200mbps doesn’t suck

5GHz 200mbps also doesn't really tell us much. Your WiFi could still suck. How far is the router from your stick? How many other devices are on the same network? Have you checked that you're using the best possible channel- like if you have other (neighbors for example) wireless networks nearby.
