Wi-Fi & connectivity

[CynMoore]

I'm new here, so I hope I am posting this in the right place. If not, please advise and/or move it.

We are planning to switch our Internet service from Comcast to AT&T, which recently announced that high-speed fiber is available in our neighborhood.

Is there anything I need to be aware of or do so that our Roku service will not be affected (other than benefitting from a much higher download speed)?

Will we need to reset the Roku box so it can access our WiFi, which is how I assume it gets its data?

Thanks for any tips or suggestions.

I am with Verizon's fiber optic internet and one thing that you may need to change on your router is that you might have to disable DFS. At this point in time Roku does not support DFS. My router that I bought from Verizon has DFS turned on by default. Perhaps, someone with AT&T fiber can chime in and let you know if DFS is on by default.

Is DFS Distributed File System? What does it do? Will turning it off, if that is needed, affect anything else?

We already have a working Roku service. Do I need to chek our current router to see if DFS is turned on? How do I do that?

Thanks

DFS is dynamic frequency selection.

Ok, and how do I check and/or change that setting?

In Verizon's app on my phone there is a way to get in the advanced settings and disable DFS or you can run an ethernet cable to your router and use your login information to disable DFS.

I am not 100 percent sure if AT&T if the router does support DFS or not.
