Solving playback issues

[Andyj4]

Roku Express 4K. Having issues for the last month or so. Used to work perfect. Internet working fine. Other things on wifi working fine. Even have a booster close to the Roku. Signal is “excellent”. Yet it keeps dropping the connection for a few seconds then reconnects. Impacting playback on some apps. Tried a second HDMI cord and same thing. Light flashes either blink blink pause or a steady blink. I can’t find anything in what the different blinks mean either. Super frustrated.

Reboot your Roku, modem and router. Also run a check connection test on your Roku. See what it says for internet speed. WiFi boosters do more harm then good

I have done all the required disconnection and rebooting, etc.

It worked for about a week and then started again. 

Rebooted, etc. again. Seems to work for the present

is my Roku too old???
