Limit Reached on Roku Streaming Device/TV

On several different channels on my Roku device, I frequently get this message:

"Limit reached

You've reached the maximum number of streams. If you continue on this device, you'll stop streaming on another device.

Continue on this device

Go back"

We have 3 other TVs, all with Roku devices. But almost all of the time, only 1 TV is on. I will sometimes use the app on my phone and watch something. I have Verizon wireless service, which is excellent. I also have an extender, which I recently moved closer to the TV that we watch most of the time, that gives this error message on various channels (not just one) frequently. Checking "settings", after I moved the wi-fi extender closer, the wi-fi connection moved from "Fair" to "Excellent". This is very annoying. During the time it took me to type this, I had to click on "continue on this device" about 4-5 times to continue watching what I am watching.

What's the fix, please?
