Great suggestions. Thanks everyone for your input. I disabled the DHCPs on the orange box and let the dream machine handle everything. It hasn't really fixed the issue, but I am trending to cables. Whether TV, audio streamer, security cameras etc. I find LAN connections more stable. Mastering the art (sarcasm) of crimping isn't too difficult. Cables, connections and speed attained is a different issue and is as useless as talking about hi-fi audio speaker cables.
