Firmware 3.2.16.22
Anyone update to the latest firmware for their RBR850? Any issues? What is the BDF table?

What brand of phone is she using?
What kind of streaming is she doing? What app?
What is the wifi adapter brand that you have on your PC?
Are you speed testing when she is streaming or just doing normal stuff?

She has a Samsung S10, streaming HD video via Netflix. My wifi adapter is an Asus USB-AC53 Nano, which is an AC1200 adapter. I have speed-tested under load with her phone in the router vicinity (signal drop-out occurs here), no load on her phone but on my PC (router vicinity, normal speeds here), load on her laptop and my desktop on the router side (normal speeds), and then loads on both my PC and her phone (with her phone being on the satellite side of the house, and my desktop on the router side: normal speeds observed here also)....

Be sure your NANO drivers are up to date as well.
Is the NANO a 2.4 only or a dual band adapter?

The driver is up to date, and I forgot to mention that it's a dual-band adapter.

Shouldn't be seeing any bandwidth issues. Seems like your adapter is getting starved when the streaming happens when your both on the same RBR wifi.
Only other thing I might try would be a different adapter on your PC.
