Lots of bufferings when watching TiVo recordings or live shows
Here’s my setup: I’ve a Orbi AC3000, both the RBR50 & RBS50 are connected to my TiVo modem with CAT-6 cable. The TiVo modem has a router feature which has been disabled. All devices have latest firmwa...
This is the first I have heard of a "TiVo modem." The original TiVo boxes came with a dial-up modem to connect to a phone line, but this was before internet access was common. (I believe modern TiVo's no longer include one.)
Could you be more specific about exactly what product the router and satellite are connected to and who your internet provider is?
Your iPhone and iPad are connected to the Orbi and have a strong WiFi signal and you are using the TiVo app?
Thanks
My model of my TiVo modem/router is Technicolor DPC3848VM Docsis 3.0 Gateway. I’ve the Netgear Orbi AC3000, it has a router RBR50 & a satellite RBS50, both of them are connected to the back of DPC3848VM. Currently, the DHCP & WiFi functions of DPC3848VM have been disabled. My internet provider is Cogeco and I’m using their “Cogeco TiVo” app on my iPhone & iPad. Yes, the WiFi signal from Orbi is extremely strong (maximum bars). My house is only 2000 sq ft. The buffering issue only happened when streaming videos from TiVo & Plex. Prior to my purchase of Netgear Orbi, I do not have any buffering issues with DPC3848VM. The only reason why I purchased the Netgear Orbi is because the DPC3848VM can’t cover my whole house, some areas have weak WiFi signal. With Netgear Orbi, it covers my whole house with strong WiFi signal, but it’s not able to stream 1080p videos smoothly. Btw, I’ve about 40 devices connected to the Orbi.
