ChefZ, this isn't an issue of the roku saturating my internet. The issue is that I have a wireless router and all the network devices in my home are connected to it. What I need is for my roku ultra, which is acting as an access point I do not want, to not interfere with the access point that I do want.
I SPECIFICALLY bought the most expensive ultra model so that I could connect it to wired ethernet and not have my streaming interfere with the wifi signal that all the other devices in my home are using.
When I said "irrelevant" I clearly didn't mean irrelevant to me. Obviously it's relevant to me since I've tossed my two cents into this "feature request" thread. What I meant is that the interference seems irrelevant to Roku since they provide no ability for a wired device to turn off its wifi access point. In fact, if the complaints are accurate they seem to have specifically removed that feature. They don't even supply a way to lock it to a non-interfering channel. So how else am I supposed to describe their apparent attitude?
rmongiovi- oh lol. I wasn't giving Roku an out on this one to say its irrelevant [to them]! You are kinder than I am 🙂
My self-service improvement since they won't give me back the firmware feature on my 3 roku ultras was to open em up, tear out the antennae, prevent a short circuit with electrical tape, and move on. So frustrating
ChefZ, thanks. Great idea. Quite easily done, as well. Just annoying as **bleep** to have to modify a device I just bought. Even my AT&T set top box has a "wifi off" setting. If AT&T can do it I'll bet it wouldn't be rocket surgery for Roku.
Edit: Well, a good idea for the two antenna that plug in. Not so much for the one that soldered. Still, every little bit helps, I suppose.
