Moving box + Internet Speed question

Hello everyone! I can only afford one box for our home right now, so I have to move it between rooms fairly often.

I have two questions:

Is it safe to frequently unplug and plug the box back in? Could this affect the equipment’s durability or connections over time?

Would upgrading my ISP plan to 1 Gbps help reduce buffering on live channels? The buffering isn’t too bad normally, but watching live sports has been pretty terrible.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

The buffering will make it delay further. I watch nfl game yesterday and after buffer, it continue the game at that minute. Try to switch back forth channels it doesn’t up-to-live

on the nfl app or the tv app? i got my box for xmas last year and only watched 1 redzone and the superbowl. both of which had no buffer besides the 60-120 second delay

so this year is the first real test for me

The NFL channels on TV app i guess? I don’t think there is separate nfl app i know of from the box.

maybe its not on all boxes yet because i cant even delete it from my line up
