Hi everyone, I’ve been having an issue with my Roku device where it keeps losing its Wi-Fi connection. It happens randomly, and I have to restart the device to reconnect. My other devices don’t have this problem, so I don’t think it’s my router. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any tips on how to resolve it would be greatly appreciated.
For what it’s worth, I had an iPad for years that kept having to reconnect to the router. I blamed the iPad because nothing else had a problem. Then I replaced the router and the iPad now works perfectly. Of course I still don’t know who should be blamed for the “incompatibility”. Maybe the new router intentionally works around an Apple bug. Or maybe it doesn’t have the bug that the old router had.
You could try playing with settings within the router too. You haven't mentioned a model number, but sometimes changing Wi-Fi bands or the channel within the band can help. Also, avoiding DFS channels, and making sure that the 2.4GHz band (if that's what you're using) has all modes b/g/n enabled.
