Hey guys I've a question, when I have my SHIELD hooked up to an AC Wireless bridge as opposed to a direct wireless connection. 4K Videos buffer too much despite getting download speeds of 140-200 Mbps. In addition to this, Casting doesn't work at all. I would press the cast button, select the shield and it attempts to connect but then stops. It also sometimes attempts by opening the YouTube Wrapper through the DIAL protocol, but it doesn't work.
This isn't a problem when the shield is connected directly to my router wirelessly as opposed to through the AC bridge. But I would love to have an optimal connection though the bridge for it provide roughly 40% faster download and upload speeds.
Has anyone encounter a similar problem?

I mean theres all kinds of reasons this could happen. Wireless bridges in general suck. You'd probably be better off with a power line network adapter but they can have their own issues. The question is, if everything works fine with a direct wireless connection why do you care if you don't have an optimal connection?
