Help to get the most out of my Netgear Nighthawk.

My old router is beyond repair and I picked up the Netgear R7000. I've been looking for some help on setting up the router to work well with my chromecast, 2 android phones, 1 android tablet, wii u, 2 laptops, and 1 wired pc. The chromecast video quality hasn't been up to par recently and I can't figure out what settings to change that would improve it.

    Is it connected to the 5ghz?

    How far from the router is it? 

    What materials are between the router and the chromecast? (certain materials block wifi)

    Have you tried changing 5ghz channels?
