Buffering video when streaming from NAS connected to RBR50 router
Hi there,
Looking for some help with my new Orbi.
I purchased the RBK50 on boxing day. FW is 2.2.1.210.
I have been having problems streaming media from my NAS to my Xbox One. The f...
Does the streaming work if you have the xbox wired to the back of the router?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
What WPA security modes are you using? Try WPA2 and AES only.
Try disabling the following and see:
MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).

If you updated to recent FW v.210, try enabling Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually.
Just thought I would update incase anyone else ran into this problem. I appreciated the above response but I could tell you didn't read my message (or maybe its just a bot) as many of the questions you asked were in my original post.
Anyway I ended up hard wiring the Xbox One and it solved all the issues.
The following can affect the wireless throughput:
1- MU-MIMO which makes use of multi spatial streams to and from the device: Xbox should support MU-MIMO
2- Implicit Beamforming which allows much better data transmissions boost in the mid-long range device setups
You can find those parameters under >>ADVANCED>>Advanced Setup>>Wireless Settings>>
Glad you figured it out.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
