Wi-Fi & connectivity

[fhassan]

Since past few months, I have noticed that the wifi signal that Roku detech is extremely weak (1 bar) as compare to full bars it used to detect. Also I have noticed that it is quite warm on touch even after 10 minutes of use. It wasn't the case few months ago. Even if I put the router next to the Roku, it only detects 1-2 bars. All of my devices are connecting to wifi with full strength in the same location without any issues.

Serial # is YH00ED179480

Software version: 9.3.0 build 4194-91

I got the same issue! Something after the updates overheated the box and made the wifi signal poor
