Very fast Ookla speed test, impossible to stream via Android Box on TV

As the title suggest, I have a wifi router which gives me download speeds of more than 30 Mb/s, which is ridiculously fast in my lovely country, South Africa. But for the last few weeks I cannot stream a single episode of any programme on my Android box connected to the TV. I even go down to 360p at times, but it buffers continuously. My laptop and phone is ok-ish, depending on where I am inside the house, but previously (before I moved the router to a good spot in the house) Ookla gave me average speeds of 3Mb/s and I can stream 720p without any issue. It's also not pirate or torrent sites, we can connect our DSTV (like Tivo in USA) to the box, same problem.

TIA
 
Solution
If your android box can support a wired ethernet connection, then temporarily try a wired connection. Determine if it is the WIFI or some other problem.
