Like some have started, my Ethernet connection to my Roku device has been awful. I get over 100mbps on a speed test yet it continues to buffer on numerous apps. I've reset the Orbi and I've entered the IP address directly into the WAN setting (as directed by support). Currently I'm trying it wirelessly; however, shouldn't it be better connected. I have the last Roku Premiere plus so I don't feel it's the device. The Premiere has MU-Mimo as well so I've enabled that setting and kept beam forming disable, as directed by support. I'm confused as to why directly connected it would perform so poorly when all the speedtest plugged in and wireless are well over 100mbps. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I've also noticed very poor buffering. I have 100up/down fiber at my house and I will get 100 MBPS on WIFI - but it appears that wired is my issue. Really slow speeds when connected directly into the Orbi itself. I'm going to switch out with a nighthawk as my core and put it in AP mode instead to see if this addresses.
