Constant buffering RBR750
I have an RBR750 with two satellites. The home is 3,000 sq. ft. The router is in the basement office. Two satellites on the main level. I added the second one after my smart tv on the main level conti...
As an update, I moved the new satellite to the tv cabinet/stand and connected the Roku via Ethernet cat6 cable. No buffering anymore. Now, only our mobile devices are having issues.

Or once I do get on, after a few minutes it goes to continuous buffering. Same for my wife’s phone.
Be sure to disable any MAC Address randomizers on phones and pads while at home:

Power OFF the phones for 1 minute.
Lets try turning OFF just one of the RBS.
Also try this as well, Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set CTS to 64. Set Short preamble instead of Long preamble modes. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s). Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Power ON the phones then test again...
