Had a little problem with HBOMax on a Firestick lite and a screen displayed indicating a network issue. There were not any problems with my network but while looking around found something new
When you go to network in the Firestick and check network status it now has a option for a speed test and works very well.
There is a “Advanced” button that includes connect metric, Quality and Data usage including daily, weekly, this month and last months GB values.
Another button will take you to data monitoring when selected.
Really kind of nice, I am pretty sure it wasn’t there before but if I am wrong you will tell me I have no doubt.
I checked this out on my MAX and it is not there. When checking for updates it states I am up to date. I guess I didn’t get this update yet.
I also found the reason I was getting slow internet speeds from the MAX. I used FS for a long time so I bought new cables, no difference. I then ran Defsquid about 3 times and then restarted the MAX. I guess the updates from Amazon didn’t restart the MAX, problem fixed. I apologize by misleading people about the MAX.
It only shows when you go to settings>Network>and highlight the SSID of the network you are connected to and then click the pause/play button. The next interface is the updated one. Run Speed Test is down the bottom.
Ya it’s weird the way they roll out the updates. I suspect it may be in batches of serial numbers as there doesn’t seem to be any ryhme or reason to when someone gets the update. But that’s Amazon for ya.
