I've streamed allot of Netflix through the 601 with out to much problem.  I do know Netflix streaming can downgrade to a lower quality video if it detects your connection isn't fast enough, but I haven't seen this with 601.  You might want to check your Cable / DSL modem and service provider.

Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option.
Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking.
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices on the router.
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP.

What wireless modes are you using?
Try single mode G or mixed G and N?

Any cordless house phones?
Any other WiFi routers in the area?

I hate that when it happens. The delay should be seconds and you will not miss the movie. The cure? Bigger pipes, 5 Mbps for example, from your ISP. I have 3.5 Mbps and it's fine
