Check the WMM setting in the router.
Some routers (especially those with heavy traffic) may need WMM (Wi-Fi Multi-Media) enabled for optimal media streaming performance. If available, this setting can be found in the router settings menu. (It may be located in the QoS [Quality of Service] section.) However, since other factors affect how well WMM works, test performance with WMM enabled and disabled to determine the best WMM setting.
