RAX120V2 Disable SSID broadcast
I disabled broadcast SSID for my WiFi networks, both 2.4GHz & 5GHz. RAX120V2 does not broadcast 2.4GHz SSID but continues to broadcast SSID for 5GHz band. Why does it continue to broadcast on 5GHz. ...

I'd try fixing that before faffing around with SSID broadcast. I can't recall any reports here of any link between those two features.
Start with the problem in hand rather than any notion of possible solutions.
I have the latest firmware for RAX120v2. Will look it up if you need firmware version.
The only way to convince anyone, and to confirm for yourself, that you have "the latest firmware" is to tell us the number. Too many ways of checking for updates – including apps and the browser graphical user interface – are inaccurate. They can miss newer versions, especially "hotfixes".
A more reliable check is on the product's support pages.

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
That page will have a library of firmware for your device.
I will upgrade to Roku Ultra 4k player even though I don't have 4k TV. Likely solve the buffering. Didn't want to pay for upgrade when I cannot display 4k on my HD TV. The Ulta has much better WiFi than the HD Roku Streaming Stick I have. Should solve my buffering.
I know I have latest firmware because I asked router to check for update yesterday and none available. I don't use any other method to check firmware.

Makes sense of Internet speed is up to it.
Christmas present for yourself.
Maybe I'll go with Amazon Fire Box instead. Roku does not support WiFi6 (idiots). Since I have WiFi6 router, should go with WiFi6 streaming device.
I have 900mbps internet speed so should be plenty fast.

They'll catch ip eventually.

Indeed, I'm surprised you have any problems. Does smell like a device issue.
