Hello Darren:
Thanks for the clarification. I read that somewhere after I posted. I appreciate it. To answer your question, I have Beamforming off and Mu-MIMO on as suggested by Netgear specialist. These particular Rokus are set up for MU-MIMO but the specialist said it could cause problems with other devices.
Although every situation is different, it would be nice to have some recommended settings. They say "default" but I've read multiple people having different default settings on this forum. All in all, it performs well and I realize no system is perfect;however, the buffering on ESPN in particular (just in my living room) happens much too often. I'm working on relocating the router and satellite. Ok thinking they may be too close, roughly 35 feet so the signals may be overlapping.
Thanks so much for your response! I appreciate it.
