Re: Video stream from PC to Xbox 360 stops
Your internet speed has nothing to do with this, what matters is the bandwidth between your PC and the Xbox. If you're using a wireless network, they can often have a low and/or bandwidth. For the best results, use wired network. If that isn't an option, use "ac" wireless and make sure that the signal is strong.
That said, the problem can be caused by many other issues, but sufficient bandwidth is required or it simply won't work.

"ac" isn't an option, it's a WiFi standard that "all parties" in the network (PC, router and Xbox) must support. If one or more of them don't, you won't get the bandwidth that "ac" provides: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11ac
That said, "ac" only works well over very short distances/high signal strength, so you might be out of luck in any case. You can limit the bitrate in UMS' configuration so that it will transcode to a lower quality that takes up less bandwidth. If will only help when transcoding though.

Netflix requires much less bandwidth, since those videos have been pre-transcoded with streaming in mind. UMS has to do the transcoding in realtime, so there's much less time to do advanced compression to save bandwidth. It also depends on the source video, if you studied the details, you will find that the quality of a Netflix video isn't at all comparable to that found for example on a bluray disc.
It doesn't matter if you have a full signal if you don't have "ac" capable WiFi equipment, the bandwidth of 802.11n is quite limited even under the best of circumstances. I very much doubt it's a router configuration issue, although I can't reject the possibility.
