XR500 wifi connection delays
I am having a problem with wifi. Devices take 5 minutes or more to connect. And since some devices like my Roku TV time out before then, they won't connect at all. This happens on iPhones, iPads, App...
Sorry to hear you're having this issue, I would first suggest you disable Smart Connect in WiFi settings and try connecting manually to 2.4/5GHz and seeing if that improves the issue.
Thanks. Did that. Actually started a new wifi and made sure not to select that. Worked great for an hour but returned to same issue. Sometimes after a reboot it is fine but doesn't seem to last. I have no gear between my internet line and the xr500.
