    did you update the firmware on the router....are you connected at 300mbps on the router using N and 5ghz band along with WPA. Run a speedtest and what is your latency at.

    thanks

    what browser are you using and have you messed around with QOS on the router. Is it only netflix how is youtube and hulu working for you. Have you updated drivers for network card and video card and flashed new bios.
