I agree Josh. That said my TV was holding -60 with the 844. In a 40mhz channel with a fairly low noise floor I expected it to work better. Also tried 20mhz with no change in performance. The DLNA stream is about a 7mbit stream that requires no hiccups because there is minimal to no buffering.
I never did figure out why it was so finicky. It's also likely the Samsung TV just did not like the 844 for some reason. Any TV I have used doesn't really have very good information on wireless statistics so I could only go by what the router exposes to you. I installed two Unifi-AC-Lite on the north and south side of my 1450 square foot house and now everything works as expected... running two 40mhz channels on low power and have several of these DLNA devices watching live TV without hiccups on 5ghz.
