 Decoding audio files is CPU and memory intensive. PSRAM external memory is strongly recommended. To use the component on a memory constrained device, define only the announcement pipeline, decrease the buffer size, set `codec_support_enabled` to false, and set the pipeline transcode setting format to `WAV` with a low sample rate and only 1 channel.
 
+### Network Optimizations
+
+The speaker media player automatically enables high-performance networking to optimize audio streaming. This configures both WiFi and TCP/IP settings for better throughput and lower latency. The optimization level is PSRAM-aware:
+
+- **With PSRAM guaranteed** ({{< docref "psram" >}} configured with `ignore_not_found: false`): Aggressive settings with 512KB TCP windows and 512 WiFi RX buffers
+- **Without PSRAM guaranteed**: Conservative optimized settings with 65KB TCP windows and 64 WiFi buffers
+
+If you experience out-of-memory issues, you can disable these optimizations by setting `enable_high_performance: false` in the {{< docref "network" >}} component configuration.
+
+### Audio Codec Performance
+
 In general, decoding FLAC has the lowest CPU usage, but requires a strong WiFi connection. Decoding MP3 requires less data to be sent over WiFi but is more CPU intensive to decode. Decoding WAV is only recommended at low sample rates if streamed over a network connection.
 
 Increasing the buffer size may reduce stuttering, but do not set it to the entire size of the external memory. Each pipeline allocates the configured amount, and this setting also does not take into account other smaller buffers allocated throughout the audio stack.

 While you are troubleshooting, simplify your setup as much as possible. Only configure the `announcement_pipeline` and do not use `resampler` or `mixer` speakers.
 
+### Audio Issues
+
 If you can't hear anything, check whether your hardware requires a GPIO pin to be high or low to enable the speaker. Verify you have the correct speaker channel configured: try setting your speaker configuration to stereo if you are unsure which channels are available.
 
 If the audio quality is poor, check your output speaker configuration. Experiment with the bits per sample, channels, and sample rate settings. In general, higher sample rates improve audio quality: try using `44100` Hz or `48000` Hz instead of `16000` Hz.
 
 If there is a noticeable delay before a pause command takes effect, reduce the buffer duration in the output speaker. Be sure to adjust both the hardware speaker component settings and the `mixer` speaker component settings, if used.
 
+If audio stutters, and your device has PSRAM, add ({{< docref "psram" >}} configured with `ignore_not_found: false`) so that the networking stack uses higher performance optimization settings.

 ## Configuration variables
 
 - **enable_ipv6** (*Optional*, boolean): Enables IPv6 support. Defaults to `false`.
 - **min_ipv6_addr_count** (*Optional*, integer): ESPHome considers the network to be connected when it has one IPv4 address and this number of IPv6 addresses. Defaults to `0` so as to not hang on boot with networks where IPv6 is not enabled. `2` is typically a reasonable value for configurations requiring IPv6.
+- **enable_high_performance** (*Optional*, boolean): Explicitly enables or disables high-performance networking optimizations. Only supported on ESP32 devices. When not specified, this is automatically enabled by components that benefit from optimized network settings. Set to `false` to disable these optimizations if they cause memory issues on your device. Defaults to component-driven behavior.
+
+## High-performance networking
+
+The network component can automatically apply optimized settings for components that require high throughput or low latency, such as media streaming. When enabled, this feature configures both the lwIP TCP/IP stack and WiFi driver with settings optimized for performance.
+
+### PSRAM-Aware Optimizations
+
+The optimization level depends on whether PSRAM is guaranteed to be available (configured via the {{< docref "psram" >}} component with `ignore_not_found: false`):
+
+**With PSRAM guaranteed:**
+
+- TCP send/receive buffers: 512KB windows with window scaling enabled
+- WiFi RX buffers: 512 dynamic buffers
+- WiFi TX buffers: 32 static buffers
+- AMPDU aggregation: Optimized block acknowledgment windows
+
+**Without PSRAM (or when not guaranteed):**
+
+- TCP send/receive buffers: 65KB windows
+- WiFi RX buffers: 64 dynamic buffers
+- WiFi TX buffers: 64 dynamic buffers
+- AMPDU aggregation: Standard block acknowledgment windows
 
 > [!NOTE]
 > The [lwIP](https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/lwip/) library used for the network component currently only implements IPv6 SLAAC according to [RFC4862](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc4862/). The interface identifier (IID) is directly generated from the device MAC address.
