WiFi and Internet Connections
Does your WiFi or internet connection have any of these issues?
•Your internet connection is sometimes interrupted when online
•Your WiFi speed seems fast on some days (or during certain hours) and slow on other days (or at times)
•Some websites load quickly sometimes and slowly at other times
Here are some tips that may help improve your WiFi or Internet connection:
•Other WiFi routers (for example, if your neighbours also have WiFi) or nearby equipment (for example, a TV) can affect your WiFi connection, speed or throughput
•Check your router's manual (or online information) for recommendations and settings on these topics: "reducing interference", "reducing collisions" and "improving reliability"
•Most WiFi routers use the same default "channel" for communication, so you may have better results by following your router's instructions to choose a specific "non-default" channel insteadSome websites load quickly sometimes and slowly at other times

Other issues (Amazon)
We have found it is best to wait for the “Game Circle” popup “toast” to appear before starting a network game.
Multiplayer games do NOT require you to be logged in to Game Circle.
If you have Game Circle enabled, it is best to let Amazon’s network traffic complete so it doesn’t interfere with Cyboid’s traffic.
This usually only takes a few seconds when you start Cyboid.
Sometimes there is more lag right when the game starts.
You’ll notice this on one (or more) devices as the objects (weapons, items, etc.) aren’t rotating smoothly.
Usually waiting a few seconds (five or ten) clears things up…
Often just playing and ignoring the lag is just as good and the game smooths out quickly.
If a network game has trouble connecting, it is best to leave/exit the “Waiting Room.”
Wait until the “Show Invitations” item no longer has “New!” beside it.
This means that the invitations are all cleared and you can try again.
Amazon Fire TV Ethernet Adapter:
We have found that the Amazon Fire TV Ethernet Adapter operates more slowly than a WiFi connection.
If you are having trouble with your network connection, try using WiFi instead of the Ethernet Adapter.
