A lot of times bad frequency selection happens through power glitches
and all those devices in your area going off and on at the same time.
Each one comes on at the same time, sees nothing on any channels because
they are all coming up and they all settle on the same channel. Of
course this doesn't apply if you are first powering up the device
yourself.

One other thing, since it sounds like Nate is maybe suspecting the
Mikrotik RB951. I’ve had problems with Mikrotik 2.4 GHz and AUTO
frequency selection, with devices not registering or not staying
registered. I’m trying to remember if that’s on the 951G we used to
deploy or the hAP ac and hAP ac lite we use now, or maybe both. We seem
to have better luck manually selecting 2412 MHz. Obviously that’s non
optimum from the standpoint of avoiding interference, but I’ve always
been a bit dubious how well auto frequency selection works anyway. Many
routers seem to perversely select the worst channel.

I've run tests with Netflix (and Prime, and a couple others).
Netflix is about the best at judging the speed of the connection,
and adjusting the codec to accommodate the speed capability. At the
lowest quality codec, Netflix will work all the way down to just
under 700 Kbps. No kidding. I think sometimes the burst speed (if
you use it) will confuse it selecting the appropriate codec. I have
not tested that though. IIRC, I can get Prime to run at under 3
Mbps, but if left unchecked, it will want ~~ 10 Mbps.

I'm only posting because I've had 2 reports, one on my network,
and one
on another network (In-laws out of state) within the last 2 weeks.
Mikrotik RB951 routers doing NAT and WIFI. Everything looks
good, but
both people say that netflix/streaming keeps buffering/stopping.
Running current firmware and have been installed for years.
Speedtest
apps show no problems. WIFI signals look good. Haven't heard any
reports from other parts of the network.
Now both of these people are using the Apps built into their TV,
I don't
know what brands. I'm not even sure where to start troubleshooting
something like this. I'm visiting the customer on my network
tomorrow
to see if changing the wifi equipment helps. My customer
regularly sits
at 5mb/s for multiple hours so It appears that streaming should be
working fine.
