Insufficient bandwidth for streaming
I recently purchased a new home with a visio TV and was originally running on a rented WiFi router from spectrum at the new house and the orbi (RBR50 + RBS50) system at the old. No streaming bandwi...
I had a similar problem out of the blue one time. Checked on attached devices and discovered for some unknown reason that my Samsung TV had decided to latch onto the router in the opposite side of the house rather than the nearest satellite which was only eight feet away, and by using WiFi analyzer and some deduction, it was tenaciously hanging onto the 2.4GHz signal from my router rather than the -32db 5GHz signal from the satellite. The satellite was working because it had other devices attached to it, and performing. Power cycled the TV (pulling plug). For extra measure while I was at it, I forgot the my network on tv and then reattached to the home network. The TV found the 5GHz satellite signal and stayed hooked to it since. That may not be your issue but might be worth a try, as long as you know your nearest router or satellite to the TV is working fine with other devices.
