A better router will certainly help. I got this one: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/netgear...?skuId=1754208
Also, depending on the size of your house, a wi-fi range extender might help. But going through a few walls will degrade your signal. My daughter connects just fine with this at roughly the same distance going through three walls.

Thanks guys for your input. My house is a ranch style, approximately 1900 sq ft. My main "hub" is centrally located in the home. My home network seems to work satisfactorily (could be better IMO) and, when I checked it, has more then adequate speed for streaming. It's just in that back bedroom where I occasionally have the buffering issue.
I'm thinking of trying a wi-fi range extender first, and I'm looking at this one .....https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...odtag118403-20

So, my review of DirecTVNow.
It kinda stinks.
Don't get me wrong. I'm probably keeping it. It's got the channel lineup i want, plus I get a discount from AT&T. The DVR capabilities are awful. Very limited storage compared to Vue (100 hours) and YouTube (unlimited I believe). You can't pause live TV, you just sort of stop it. When you unpause, you are live. You can start any show now from the beginning, but there is no fast forward/commercial skip when you do so.
It's costing me $50 a month... I added the third stream, which i am probably dropping. DVR controls are a little clunky. Not the fine control I am used to with a regular hardware based DVR. But they say it is still in Beta, so there is that.
I do like the updated look, the guide has program info for every highlighted show. Stream quality is very good, some buffering issues at times.
I'm going to give them my money for the next 6 months. After that, we'll see.

Here's one problem I keep running into with DirectTVNow specifically.
It's listed with BTN To Go and ESPN & FoxSportsGo. But when I try to log in to see an alternate game on BTN, my DirectTVNow login always comes back to the same "Something Went Wrong" screen on Direct TV Now's website.
If anyone knows how to fix that I'd be ever so grateful.
