Downgrading to marshmellow was successful.Real Debrid or any debrid service may help to some degree but it's still not a guarantee. Ultimately you're still subject to any other factor that causes bottlenecks when it comes to online sources.

Assuming you're still also limited by the same 30mbps bandwidth package previously discussed in the thread above regarding your past buffering issues that you assumed was a limitation of HDMI, that still doesn't exactly give you a huge amount of bandwidth to play with at all, (regardless of your using a debrid service now too).
Like many you're quite possibly limited with regards to the maximum bandwidth available to you subject to the infrastructure & what's actually available in your area. However, if you can upgrade your bandwidth then do so as all of your other present headaches may possibly see some additional improvement!! (Just remember, the same external limitations would still apply.)
The fact that your problems also seem notably worse in the evenings compared to the afternoons would also indicate that issues such as contention ratios & service congestion are also a direct factor = additional bottlenecks. Good luck solving those issues rapidly without at least first throwing some extra money at the problem too
If you cannot upgrade your ISP package for a start, then you may simply have to readjust your expectations. Consider viewing your on demand content at a lesser quality instead. It just won't matter how frequently you factory reset or wipe your current hardware if you still have these other pre-existing bottlenecks elsewhere in the chain, & purchasing new hardware such as a U22 to replace your U9-H won't make a difference either if the root issue remains available bandwidth or source limitations.
My bandwith now is 75 mbps,
I understand RDebrid is not gauranted.
