CAX30 - Video Buffering
Hi - things have improved for me with the beta overall, but I am now having persistent issues with video buffering. I have solid internet speeds, and I am the only one on my network. I'm wondering if...
Changing to channel 44 on 5 Ghz seemed to do the trick!
Any progress on this?

I'm using an iMac. I didn't recognize this issue before the beta firmware. I changed the channel for 5Ghz. That may have done the trick - I just tried watching a video that I was trying to watch yesterday and it is now working. I'll keep you posted in this thread.
To your other question: yes, I have "smart connect" enabled.
Note that after I made the chance to my wireless channel and things rebooted, I now am continually getting an error on my "Wireless" tab (under both Basic > Wireless and Advanced > Setup > Wireless Setup)

So other channels don't work?
The default channel was 153 and that was glitching a lot. I only tried 44 as you had recommended to choose one in the 40's.
Ok. Good to hear.
I'm using 161 currently. I'll keep lower 40s in mind as well. I normally use channel 40 anyways.
Glad its working better for you now. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
