Re: How to Optimize Roku Performance for Faster Streaming

Buy the Ultra. Don't waste time on the sticks. 

Use Ethernet when possible. If you do use wifi, take the time to ensure your signal is strong by placing router in an optimal location. Consider upgrading your router if it's 5 years old or older for latest technology. 

In system advanced system and advanced display settings. 

Turn off the HDR/Dolby Vision always on. If you do have HDR tv, turn on 4:2:2 in HDR subsampling. 

Enable the Auto adjust display refresh rate. It makes a difference when watching movies on certain apps. 

Reboot the Roku every once in a while to ensure it's running optimally. They do not power off effectively and restarting them clears and cached memory.
