I have been having problems with my NUC5i5RYH when streaming content from my HD HomeRun. It glitches and is choppy occasionally. Also sometimes Netflix seems like it is very low frames per second and choppy motion. This is over a 50mb/s cable modem. The 2.4ghz band works much better than the 5ghz band so I usually try to connect that way, but even that drops connection occasionally. I had pre-ordered a NUC5i7RYH because I thought it was just CPU bound or something when streaming - turns out, it's not so. I just discovered last night that a cheap usb wireless N network card works flawlessly. Streaming HD content smoothly and perfectly from multiple sources. My question is - if I want to use the onboard wifi, am I out of luck? Is it a bad unit? Or is this normal for this? I'm in the same room as the wireless router - about 13 feet away. The USB port I use for the wifi is the only open USB port on my unit now and I really don't want to give it up for this. Any tips or troubleshooting would be welcome.
