We bought the Roku/Roku stick bundle yesterday. Set them up on the 2 TVs and they were working great. Today neither will connect. Other devices connect to the internet and Roku is showing signal strength excellent. We have tried resetting internet and both Rokus. Both still don’t work. We have FIOS wireless.
For the most part, disabling IPv6 should have no real negative impact for normal users. I leave them disabled on my own home networks due to some security settings conflicts it causes when enabled. Having said that, some Windows features actually rely on it being enabled and has been reported to "break" Windows when disabled. I consider Windows to be broken by design anyway, so how much more can one break it? There are of course other server and network reasons to leave enabled, but not of any real concern to a home user. (I can see the lines of IPv6 zealots forming now to tell me how wrong I am.)
Regarding the BGW-320, this is the router I mentioned in the above post. It is a managed tri-band router that does not allow a lot of user interaction/changes. And it has that feature of the 5ghz bands and use of DFS channels that Roku cannot use. As a result, you may find that all your Roku devices will have to gravitate to the 2.4ghz band. (Users have been calling for AT&T to allow for manual control over 5ghz channels for awhile now.)
However, each network is different and the new router may work just fine for your environment. Again, my personal preference is to leave the ISP router as a gateway/modem and then bridge a router that allows for network configuration and serves as the router/DHCP server for the devices to connect to. (ie. a Netgear, TP-Link, Motorola, etc).
The benefit of using an ISP router, however, is that it will automatically configure and manage your network, and is pretty well configured to be "hands-off". The negative is that when problems develop, you may be limited to what devices can be used and how the devices can be used on the network . (compatibility issues.)
It’s the Roku Ultra and the Roku Streaming Stick + that are we’re in a bundle bought together if that makes a difference
Are you in the USA?
Both of those devices are dual band. They support 2.4 GHz b/g/n networks, and 5 GHz networks. However, not all countries use the same channels of the various bands. In 5 GHz in particular, some countries use channels that in the USA are reserved for non-consumer use.
If you're in the USA, this likely won't come into play. But that's why I'm asking.

Yes I’m in the USA
Then, unless your WiFi is using a non-standard channel, it should be working.
On each Roku device, go to Settings > System > Network
It should show the channel on which you're operating. Here's a screenshot someone else posted that shows it. Ignore the highlighted areas. You want Wireless channel.
That will tell us both the channel and band. That may provide a clue.

21 Mbps is way too slow BTW

If you say so. I have 500 Mbps. My Roku gets 189 Mbps

I said so. Amazon too, by the way. 15 Mbps will stream 4K Prime Video content according to Amazon. Of course, if your network is not up to snuff, you need more to compensate.

Amazon recommends a minimum of 15 Mbps for 4K. Netflix 25 Mbps. Those are bare minimum specs keep in mind.
