Ask HN: Anyone had an Amazon Firestick hogging LAN bandwidth behind a firewall?
I finally narrowed down the device that was flooding my household LAN with traffic, especially when I was streaming from the Internet on my Kodi box: An original issue Amazon Firestick. When I pulled it's power, my LAN dropped to normal level. It had been flooding the LAN with 800-900kbps of traffic.
- Meph504 10y agoI've experience problems with bandwidth and resource consumption from the fire stick when I had Kodi and the Downloader app installed, wiping it to factory resolved the issues, and have yet to see it return. I haven't done any sort of recording or looking into the issue, but I was suspicious enough that I didn't reload them after the reset.
