Netgear Orbi RBK 763S: Streaming video over wifi - occasional loss of video
I have an Orbi 763 system with 1 gb internet into the home. My cable tv provider requires decoder devices at each television which can connect via wifi or ethernet - no coax provision on the devices...

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router 📡 and satellite(s)🛰️? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR 📡 and RBS 🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.

Does this happen with the RBS turned OFF?
What channel configurations are currently set on the router?
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Try disabling the following and see:
Armor, IPv6, Smart Parental Controls or Circle, Traffic Meter.

Firmware is 6.3.8.5_1.4.80
Modem is owned by me and registered with the ISP; model is a Netgear Nighthawk
Home is 5000 sq ft on two levels; router is on lower level on one end of home, satellite 1 is in middle of home on lower level (40+ feet from the router and in a different room) and satellite 2 is on the other end of the home from the router and on the upper level.
I will try turning off the services you suggested and see if that makes a difference (Armor is not active; unsure about the others.)
Thank you.

Is it just the one tv? What model tv?
Is it connected to the 2.4ghz or the 5ghz?
are you watching live tv on it or streaming shows/movies? (live tv doesn't have the same buffer)
Is it a specific service or all streaming on the tv?
