Diagnose the Cause
Lag can stem from several sources: your internet connection, your MacBook Air's resources, or the IPTV service itself. Start by testing your internet speed using an online speed test tool. If speeds are low or inconsistent, that's likely the primary issue.
Improve Your Network
A weak Wi-Fi signal is a frequent cause of buffering. Try moving closer to your router, restarting your router and modem, or switching to a wired Ethernet connection for maximum stability. Ensure no other devices on your network are consuming excessive bandwidth (e.g., large downloads, streaming on multiple devices).
Optimize Your MacBook Air
Your MacBook Air needs sufficient resources to run IPTV Smarters Pro smoothly. Close any unnecessary applications running in the background, especially those that use a lot of RAM or CPU. Ensure your macOS is up-to-date, as system updates often include performance improvements.
Consider IPTV Provider Issues
If your internet and MacBook Air are performing well, the issue might be with your IPTV provider's servers. Try accessing your service on another device or using a different IPTV player to see if the problem persists. If it does, contact your provider for support.
