Please help me stop my baby from crying because kodi keeps buffering (ttrpg.network)

The toddler loves having Kodi full of all their faves but I haven’t been able to iron out all the buffering I’m getting streaming from my mini-pc NFS mounted shares to the pi4 libreelec hooked up via Ethernet in the living room. Everything is wired, so I wouldn’t think that would be an issue but here I am about to put down a couple hundred dollars for a Synology router that looks like the monolith from 2001. Is this going to do the trick, you think? Is there another router recommended to keep a distributed little homelab (any 10tb spread between various usb hdd, raspberry pi’s and mini PCs all hosting a variety of containers and services) running smoothly? Budget I’m hoping to keep under 300 and lower the better but happy toddler and buttery smooth streaming over lan is the priority.

Change the baby for a dog. You're welcome.

Instructions unclear. Baby is now a werewolf and howls loudly when Kodi is buffering.

My bad, I apologize. Put it in the freezer for now and I'll shout out when I have clear instructions in a codeberg repo.

I hear you need dark magic for that

Depends on the color of the dog.

Same solution as with the baby. Sorry, gotta go hide from my wife before she reads this. I kind of like breathing.
