Does anyone know if this is controllable by software?

i.e. is it something DD-WRT, Tomato et. al. can alleviate?

I have been suffering similar symptoms on my home network and I also have a Sony Android TV, though to be honest it hadn't occurred to me to bust out Wireshark to figure out what was going on. In hindsight, I guess this was a rookie mistake on my part.
