They decided to go with the Fire TV Stick 4K Max, which not only has more storage but also supports Wi-Fi 6E for smoother 4K streaming.
“I just upgraded two old Firesticks that were in locations with poor Wi-Fi and I couldn’t believe the difference,” one person wrote on Reddit.
“What I thought was primarily a Wi-Fi issue was actually mostly an issue with my older, slower processor, along with the OS and some of the apps I use bloated over time.”
