IPTV lagging on Amazon Fire TV Stick

Hello, I have a very unstable connection on my TV (IPTV with a Premium subscription on Amazon Fire TV Stick): sometimes I can watch 3 movies in a row without any problem, and sometimes I get the little loading circle that spins every 5 seconds, both on live channels (French AND foreign) and on movies...
The problem remains unchanged when everyone switches to 4G to leave all the bandwidth for the TV. Where does the problem come from? Speed? Network? Quality of connection? My address is being considered for fiber, I am on Freebox. Would a Wi-Fi repeater improve things? I don't even know exactly what it is for...
Thank you for your help, have a nice day everyone :)

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 100.0.4896.127

    Hello.
    IPTV with Premium subscription

    IPTV subscriptions that allow you to get all the premium channels for a ridiculously low price are scams that, sooner or later, cease to function or work poorly, so reach out to the one who sold you this subscription, if you can even get in touch with them.

    It should be noted that these subscriptions are illegal in France and the hunt is on for both users and providers of these crappy subscriptions; see https://www.presse-citron.net/iptv-pirate-la-tv-se-coupe-chez-des-clients-apres-trois-arrestations-2/

    Canal + and Sat go through the satellite dish, the rest is via the internet. My box is about 4m from the TV

      So she is close, a repeater won't give anything more, test your speed https://www.speedtest.net/fr

    bazfil: "IPTV subscriptions that allow you to get all the paid channels for a ridiculously low price are scams that, in the medium to long term, either stop working or work poorly."

    You've already said it all, no need to complicate things with all sorts of tests.

    Thank you Bazfile, I only use this subscription for American channels, I pay my Canal+/Canalsat subscription every month for the paid channels. I can easily reach the person who sold me the subscription, he responds in less than an hour; he thinks it’s related to my wifi speed… would a repeater boost my signal?

      Hello.
      Is your Canal+ subscription working?
      If it works with Canal+, it's not due to your speed but to your "premium" subscription, you just need to call them since they are quickly reachable.

      To see if it's related to your WiFi speed, test it at https://www.speedtest.net/fr

      Would a repeater increase my signal?

      To answer, we first need to know how far your TV is from your box.
