It happens mostly in the Xfinity app, but we do lose connection on others as well here and there.  All of our Roku Expresses need to be reconnected to the internet multiple times daily, but in the Xfinity app there is massive amounts of buffering if we get it to stream at all.  We have unplugged, restarted, followed every command it has prompted. We have not used a hotspot.
