ORBI 40
Hello, I have intermittent freezing on Direct Tv every minute or so. It seems the ORBI and Direct Tv are not getting along. Does anyone have a solution for this?
ORBI of course streams extremely well to all my systems except for the Direct Tv. My DVR and main Hub is hard wired to internet. However, my receivers are wireless in the other rooms. This is where the freezing occurs.
Thanks for any help provided.
