Roku Express Keeps losing connection, especially in Xfinity App

I've been having problems for at least the last 3 months where the Roku Express in our master will keep buffering, mostly in the Xfinity app.  It then will have us check the internet connect and restart.  When checking the internet it says the signal is "excellent" so I do not understand the problem.

Re: Roku Express Keeps losing connection, especially in Xfinity App

It happens mostly in the Xfinity app, but we do lose connection on others as well here and there.  All of our Roku Expresses need to be reconnected to the internet multiple times daily, but in the Xfinity app there is massive amounts of buffering if we get it to stream at all.  We have unplugged, restarted, followed every command it has prompted. We have not used a hotspot.

Hi @Bcotton610,

Thanks for keeping us posted.

Refreshing the network setup of the Roku device will help in resolving this issue. Please follow the troubleshooting steps below:

1. Restart the network router - Disconnect the router from the power and connect it back.

2. Restart the Roku Tv -  Settings > System > Power > System Restart.

3. Reset the Roku Tv network settings - Navigate through Settings > System > Advanced System Settings > Network Connection Reset.

4. Setup Network - Navigate through Settings > Network > Setup Connection > Wireless Network and look for the network name.

Please let us know how it works.

All the best,
Kash
