Some additional things to keep an eye on when comparing them:

Whether they support putting the VPN in the router.  That way you can use it on consoles and such.

If you aren't using it on the router, be mindful of per device limits.  Some do that whole Netflix/Hulu thing where they track and limit how many devices can connect at once on a standard account. If you are trying to protect phones and such too, this could become an issue for a large family.

My issue is with paramount+, HBOmax, and CW we have a ton of buffering and are unable to even load and watch them.  I am however on the white box (the new box is coming tomorrow or Tuesday) we do live in a 5g area (so shocked about that one).  I am wondering if we should get a VPN or if we should in fact get some sort of WiFi extender?  These are being played from Fire 4k stick. The WiFI is actually up high and close to our main Fire stick.  Any advice would be appreciated.  I am the tech of the house and I am great at putting things together making sure we have all the right connections and I never have issues.  The issue I have is understanding the words and such.  I am a step above the thingy plugs into that whatcha ma call it. 😂 So when explaining or any suggestions ease go easy on the tech talk.  😂. Thank you all in advance. P.S. I love Tmobile internet when it is playing Netflix and/or Hulu.

 

 

Try the VPN first. I know that before I got the VPN I was having issues with Twitch and a few other sites were buffering all the time for no reason and now it runs smooth as butter so that may help with your issues as well. That and almost all of them have a 30-day guarantee to test them out.
