Videos freezing with Sony Blu-ray

I just got a faster Netgear router to replace my old Netgear and have been having problems with videos freezing and "cannot communicate with Serviio" errors ever since when i try to stream to my Sony BDPS3700 blu ray player. When i first got the router, i fooled around with trying to use my old router as a repeater so i changed some settings and then gave up and did a factory reset on the new router but i can't get Servio to work without freezing and getting random "cannot communicate with server" errors.

Are there router settings i should adjust to get Serviio to work well?

here is what i've tried
Uninstalling and reinstalling serviio - including loading database from scratch
Tried all of the Sony profiles.
reset and reentered wireless settings on bluray player
rebooted router

I tried most of the above several times. here is an exerpt from the debug mode log (the whole thing is huge). Something looks interesting to me.

This is hours after the entire database is in Serviio. I didn't Change or add any files but it looks like Serviio is constantly checking every video in the library over and over. Could that be overloading it and causing it to freeze? I turned off all of the Metadata settings but it still keeps happening. Can anyone help? This is driving me crazy.
