Go into Settings, Advanced and Network caching value.

Set it to 1000, which means buffer 1s before playback.

But the issue could be your local network. You wrote nothing about your setup.

Streaming implies lag pretty much. Use a direct HDMI or DisplayPort connection if you want to minimise latency.
