What do you suggest I do to keep my Chromecast from stuttering when I watch Plex videos?

Matthew Bowen I'm sure its a signal thing. The server and the problematic chromecast are downstairs, but the router is upstairs. The chromecast on the same floor as the router is fine. I just have to find a way to get better than 70% signal  downstairs. The antenna on the chromecast must be pretty weak.

Matthew Bowe Google probably figures you will have the chrome cast and router on the same floor, as I do with my Apple TV and router. You could also try to get a cheap wireless access point and extend your wifi range to get a stronger signal downstairs.

John Tacoz I would recommend VistaStumbler over the AFAIK no longer maintained Netstumbler. Or if you have an Android phone definitely get the free tool "WiFi Analyzer". (don't know if on iOS)

 

Matthew Bowe the point is that if you have a bunch of networks on the same channel it causes problems.
