Not sure what the issue might be, but I would remove the cache settings from your advancedsettings.xml file. <cachemembuffersize>0</cachemembuffersize> will reduce the life of your iPad's internal memory.

Remove the line. Setting it to 0 means it will use the internal flash memory instead of RAM. You can increase the size for RAM, but you shouldn't use flash memory. It will shorten the life of the iPad.

I use this configuration now, has improved somewhat but remains the buffering
<advancedsettings>
<network>
<buffermode>0</buffermode>
<readbufferfactor>2</readbufferfactor>
</network>
</advancedsettings>

For an iPad Air 2, try this:
Code:
<advancedsettings>
<network>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
<cachemembuffersize>157286400</cachemembuffersize>
<readbufferfactor>10000</readbufferfactor> <!-- Doesn't matter as long as the number is "really high". It will simply try to load files as fast as possible. -->
</network>
</advancedsettings>

Then there's nothing else you can do on the Kodi side of things. The wifi connection must not be able to support a fast enough connection to actually play the video without stopping to buffer again.
