• When did you first encounter the issue?
  3 weeks or so ago
  
  
• What specific apps/channels are affected by the buffering issue? Also, does it only occur with certain apps or every app that you stream?
  Directv, Peacock, Prime Video, Youtube, Disney, Roku Channel, MAX, ESPN, Tubi, Hulu, Angel, and Paramount.
   
• What troubleshooting steps have you attempted so far in an attempt to resolve the issue?
  Reset the WiFi router 2X, reset the Roku 1X, Cleared the apps on the Roku and re-downloaded them.
  Reset the WiFi settings on the Roku. Setup ping to google.com on my laptop left it running for a time and waited for ROKU to let directv to buffer, I did the same for Peacock, Prime Video, Youtube, Disney, ping stayed consistent @ 35 ms. 

Other devices on the network ar working correctly including 1 FireStick,  1 ROKU TV, 1 ROKU Ultra, 3 laptops, 1 pc, 1 smart home hub, and a polk sound bar.

Not a nube by far, make a living at network stuff.
