Posted .Hi, Mike,
What you are experiencing is odd as this isn’t happening with the other streaming device. Try changing the wireless channel of the router to reduce the interference that could've caused the video to buffer. Also, make sure that the firmware of the SlingBox is updated. Please email us at [email protected] with your phone number and the link to this post so that our Escalation Engineers can contact you and walk you through the process.

Posted .Hi TheJMG37,
It’s best that you place the router in a central location. Tweaking its wireless channel is also a good move to avoid possible interference on your network. If the connection will not improve, please reach out to us at [email protected] with your contact details and the link to this review so that we can assist you further.

I would recommend this to a friendpicky as secondary router
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lifelong linksys customer. I bought this as secondary AP router. It kept pausing every 15 minutes or more. I would see swings in speednet from 50mbs to 7mbps. I don't have time to mess with special unreleased firmware upgrades. I need a router appliance that my family can rely on when I am not home. Anyway, may be a good router by itself, not sure. I ended up getting a different router.
