Buffering video when streaming from NAS
Hi All,
I recently moved to Orbi (RBK50) from an Asus RT-AC88U. The 88u was great, except I had some dead spots in the house.
The Orbi mostly works well, except for when I try to stream movie...
I think I solved it: I put my orginal Asus router back but guess what, same thing happened.
I started thinking maybe it's not the network afterall...
I use an old ReadyNAS using CIFS file sharing protocol, which is what it's always been. I enabled NFS, re-added the network share on the Apple TV (Infuse app) and it magically started playing without buffering on the Orbi.
Not sure why NFS is better than CIFS, or why it had previously worked, but it seems to be OK now. Fingers crossed....
Does the ATV Stream when wirelessly connected to the router and not connected to the satellite? Seen others have problems streaming thru a satellite. Usually means the connection is on 2.4Ghz and not 5ghz. I know my one DISH Joey thats connected to a 5Ghz wireless bridge streams well thru the satellite in the next room. Sounds like streaming with the satellite isn't working right.

The Apple TV is hard wired to the satellite, not sure what adjusting the 2.4 band will make a difference. However, even when connecting the Apple TV via wireless it always connects to 5g band anyway.
