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...
All channels are currently set to Auto and security method is WPA2-PSK. I don’t think WPA2-AES is available.
I live in a subdivision, so yes, I’ve neighbors on my left, right, and back.
The distance between RBR50 router & RBS50 satellite is about 15 ft apart.
Currently, daisy-chain topology & IPv6 are disabled. Beamforming, MU-MIMO, fast roaming are enabled.
I’ll try your suggestion to disable beamforming. I’ll also disable UPnP. Thanks.

I’ve disabled beamforming, MU-MIMO, fast roaming and move the RBR50 & RBS50 a bit further apart (20 ft), no luck, still getting bufferings when watching movies, live shows or recordings from TiVo and Plex app.
I’ve restored the configuration of Technicolor DPC3848VM as modem/router (disconnected the Orbi devices), no more bufferings when streaming videos from TiVo & Plex apps. Thanks all for help. I’m returning the Netgear Orbi AC3000.

Since you modem has a built in router, be sure to try one of the following if you get another Orbi system:
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
