Decided not to wait a few days to tell you what I found but just wait a few days for the final verdict.
First of all, thank you for answering my question. Based on your answer I did some web search and learned useful things I did not know such as bands, channels, frequencies, Wi-Fi analyzers , guest networks etc.
I think I found a solution which seems to work. I turned off the "Quick Start " setting in the Settings menu as suggested in a previous Q&A session.

I also changed my Wi-Fi security protocol from wpa to wpa/wpa2 (don't know what that means) although I suppose this was irrelevant since the TV did see the network but just couldn't establish sufficient data streaming. On the other hand I noticed that certain protocols are paired by the router with specific transmission characteristics (802. n or g or whatever). I'm not a professional on this stuff.
Finally I changed date and time from web based to manually set as also suggested in the previous link
First day today without a single lagging internet on my TV after a long time. Hopefully I found it.
I'll wait a few days more before I call this question answered.
Thanks.
