What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Be sure your TVs FW is up to date as well. Placement and distance between TV and MR or an MS is important as well. 5Ghz will out perform 2.4Ghz, if the devices are in good working condition.
