XR500 WiFi and LAN issues
Having two separate issues.
1. LG OLED tv is connected via Ethernet, recently starting freezing while playing videos.
2. WiFi on iPhone 12 is garbage, constantly having to turn WiFi off to load anything.
I am not very technical so any help will be greatly appreciated. I bought this router a couple years ago for Xbox gaming because read it was a good one to have. Issues just started a couple days ago.
