I suggest that you try to change channel first on the router by accessing the admin page.
Or if you happen to have the NETGEAR Genie installed, you may see the best available channel used.
As an example, I can use channel 4 since there's only 1 connected at it. You might be wondering channels 12 and 13, these channels are only available in some countries.
But if you're in the US, your available channels to be used will be from 1-11.
Once you have seen the best channel to use, you may go ahead and change the channel manually by clicking the button to modify the settings.

Unable to get the chart on "WiFi Channel", so I changed the channel and am keeping track of which ones I use. I also forgot my "TV Ears" are broadcast on 2.4, so I moved the transmitter away from the TV maybe that will help. Thanks.
Thank you for that information.
Keep us updated.
Thank you for your help. It appears the suggestions to change channels worked. While I have not run very many streaming videos since making the change, all is good, no more dropped or programs. I also moved the router 5 ft from the modem and computer just to make sure.
