You will have to Pay for more internet speed. I have the same router and my internet provider sets my base speed at 300mbs download and am getting much more than that wifi or hard wired. check your provider and modem. your router will be limited by your modem and or provider. During peak internet hours your speed will drop off. as for streaming everything I suggest you Pay for more speed, and maybe move your router
especially if you have alot of walls btween you and the router. Main problem is still your modem, and internet speed/provider. but you already know that...... My 2.4 gig side is between 90 and 150 mbs and I have all kinds of things accessing. If you are paying for more than your getting, just call and offer to pay for what you are getting until your provider resolves your issues. Also some routers and modems arent compatible with all providers. Check the list of compatible routers and modems they have on file. I am using one of my providers new 3.1 modems which is compatible with the RAX120. Hope this info helps you

Good looking out on factory reset. I just assumed that was already done when you talked with netgear techs.
