OK on the surface this looks like it is a wi-fi/router issue. But to clairify you wil need to check a few things. IS the PC casting conected tot eh riouter by Wi-Fi or a wired [Cat5] connection?

what type of router do you have. Is UnPnP enabled? Do you have any sort of isolation enabled on the router?

Netflix usually adjusts the quality of the video based on connection signal strength.
