Buffering Problems with 1 of 3 TVs

[delru]

Have 2, 55" HDTVs (Vizio & LG), and 1, 27" HDTV (Vizio). All wireless, with Linksys EA4500 N900. When streaming, the large TVs rarely buffer, but the new, smaller TV buffers almost all the time, even with the other TVs turned off. Even the computer (cable with TWC) will only have Outlook open and nothing else running. Why constant buffering issues only with the 1 TV?

An N900 router is dual band and triple stream (450mbit max) in each band. It is possible that the larger TVs have dual stream WIFI and the smaller (and cheaper one) does not. The maximum transfer rate on the a single band would be 150Mbit (maximum effective throughput about 70 Mbit). Put a little distance and you could be down to 40 or 50 Mbit effective throughput. If you are streaming high-bit rate video you might just not have enough bandwidth.
