Tweak the router

I just upgraded from 50/50 to 75/75. When I surf the internet on my computer, most of the pages load quickly. But when I try & surf the internet on my smart HDTV, the pages take forever to load. Why is it that the pages load quickly on my computer but not on my smart TV?

I have the MI424WR Rev I.

Are there settings on my router that I can tweak to optimize the speed?

Because the internal workings are for television not internet browsing.

many years ago Microsoft had an internet service (webTv) that worked through a tv connected via their hardware box. It was made for that purpose.

HDTV can be used for Netflix and Hulu and basic operations outside of tv. But don't expect it to be 100% usable for internet browsing.
