5GHz Setup

Jump to solution

What 5GHz wifi channels does the 3810 recognize? I kept buffering with my old router and finally got fed up with it. My new router (Netgear RAX35-100NAS) has numerous and I found that channel 120 is not recognized. Thanks in advance.

Basic Router/Network Configuration for Roku Devices (Wireless Settings)

2.4gz network band..... Radio Enabled/On, set Channel between 1-11, not Auto, 12, 13, or 14, Protocols/Mode set to b/g/n, Bandwidth 20Mhz.

5gz network band..... Radio Enabled/On, set channel 36-48 or 149-161, not Auto or any channel 52thru140, Protocols/Mode set to N/AC, Bandwidth 20mhz or 40mhz(preferred)  or 20/40.

Express and Premiere use the 2.4gz band, all other Roku models can use either the 2.4gz or 5gz bands of your network.
