@sfx2000 In my ongoing quest to optimize my router settings, I came across this post. Sorry to revive an old thread. I didn’t want to start a new one and I’ve found your posts and comments very helpful while lurking this site. Would setting the multicast rate for the 5GHz band to OFDM 6 be of any value?
