Windows Media Center - Live TV Lag

[DoctorMuffin]

I have an Ceton infiniTV 4 in my HTPC/server that streams a couple of its tuners across my network to other computers. On my old WNDR3700 I could stream HD channels over wireless with no lag at all, but now that I upgraded to the NT66U I can barely get standard def channels to come in without being choppy.

I know the router itself can handle the stream, and I think its something on the software side.

Is there any way to prioritize or somehow get Live TV through Windows Media Center working?

Use different names for 2.4 & 5 GHZ SSIDs

Are you using different wireless ssid names for the 2.4 & 5 GHz? If not do so.

Yep, I've always done that since my first dual band router
