Question about 802.11 bgn connectivity
Over the past couple of weeks, I've started having intermittent disconnects from the internet on 3 Roku devices. A 3941X, 3930X, and a 3820X. I had no disconnects over the prior 10 months. I've made no setting adjustments on our router on our end. Distance doesn't at all seem to be an issue as of two of the Rokus that seem to disconnect at the same time, one is diagonally at the opposite end of the house and the other is about 10 feet away from the router. I've been researching possible causes and at this point I've come down to two possibilities.
1- With regards to the 5g signal, I've noticed that the only channel the router seems to be using is 44 and that is almost always 1 star out of 10 on WiFi Analyzer. Unfortunately, the router I'm using from the provider does not permit me to change the channel and all other 5g signals near me seem to be also using 44. I feel that this holds a high probability and I will be checking with my provider to see what can be done about it. Purchasing our own router isn't something that's likely to happen right now. One thought I had was getting a WiFi extender and connecting only the Rokus to it so I can adjust the channels, but I don't know how likely considering the original source.
2- A second thought really starts with a question. I read that the Roku requires a 802.11 B,N,G connection but the router is currently set to 802.11 G,N,AX. Could this make a difference? I don't know if it was set to BNG before and then was changed remotely. It's just one of those things that I read and noticed.
