Excessive Buffering WNDR4500v3 router

I purchased this router because I thought it would eliminate a lot of buffering during live streaming. I'm using the 2 ghz. 1) Should I use 5 ghz or not 2) If not, what can I do?

If it will not eliminate excessive buffering, I need to return it.

The WNDR4500 is an older N900 device. 

Just an fyi. 

for streaming you should be on 5ghz if you're close enough. 

5ghz is much faster than 2.4ghz but doesn't penetrate objects as well or broadcast as far.

Thank you! I looked for it among the networks and it seems to have disappeared. I will check again.  Thank you!

Also make sure you have the latest firmware on it even though its an older N product.
