Have you limited you wifi that goes to your TV. Also is it ethenet connected. If so then I am not sure. Maybe you have too many devices using at the same time. Wifi has limited bandwidth which means that more devices on the internet means less wifi for each person.

What are the specs of the TV's internal LAN card? What is the model number of your TV? If that is its capacity, you will not get any faster speed out of it. Did you buy a low end, mid-range or high end TV? The specs of the TV would depend on where it fits in on that scale. Also, your home internet and the LAN card must both be capable of higher than wifi5. Try connecting to your internet via ethernet cable, as that usually has a faster connection, although you can't get more speed out of a LAN card than it's capable of. The TV may be smart, but it's only going to deliver what its hardware is capable of.  I took a look at the specs of a couple of TVs on Samsung's site and most had only wifi5 capability, it did not say what the LAN card speed was.  Some LAN cards are only capable of 100MBps and others are Gigabit cards.  Your manual should have detailed specs.

@userD12u9uFRNL To stream 4K all your TV needs is 15 Mbps. The 100 Mbps in your TV is more than capable.
