    Roku Streaming Stick | Portable, Power-Packed Player with Voice Remote with TV Power and Volume

    • Just like everyone else, Netflix works just fine using the same connection on all my other devices and all the other apps work just fine on the Roku
    • Bad connection, poor English, an complete confusion about the problem
    • When I returned in mid-August, it began losing the Internet connection after a few hours of play.
    • Loses connection all the time and when it does work, the picture is distorted
    • I don't know why, but I get a better Wifi connection with these than I do with my Roku 4K TV and my Roku Premiere+ (both of which support 802.11ac)
    • I do have a problem with it losing internet connection while I'm watching shows
    • * Always loses its wifi connection even though the router is in the same room and no other devices have issues
    • and I have the cheapest internet connection.
    • I use this roku stick for like 2 weeks everything was perfect except for it loosing connection to the WiFi to often
    • The remote loses its connection with the streaming stick multiple times each month
    • It looses connection easily when you touch the wire.
    • Strong WI-FI connection.
    • and it would play again for a few hours and then lose the connection.
    • As long as you have a decent Internet connection, you can get enough content to cut the cord.
    • Powerful WiFi connection with my phone for private listening using the (Roku) app
    • Wifi is not the most reliable option, plugging a dongle into the rear HDMI port of a TV with a power wire hanging off the end does not make for a very solid mechanical connection
    • It does not work well keeps loosing internet connection
    • , hi-res LCD TV and a slow Internet connection (i.e. 25Mbps, such as low-end cable connections)i was initially stumped, stymied, and frustrated, but eventually - after changing at least one setting on my old b/g router, got fairly good 720p results on our 50" Visiosetup was not painless - you're going to have to give up your credit card info to yet another company despite the fact that you may never, ever spend any money on streaming nonsense
    • Just remember that it is only as good as your wifi connection
    • Seems to keep a connection fine so far
    • For my mom, the connections to Netflix and Amazon are far more solid than with her DVD player.
    • i accessed my router's web-based set up and assigned the default from auto to channel 5 - 2427Mhzvoila! much better connection - adequate for 720pthis little stick is a great solution for us - the little dwarf Italian lady we bought our home from had, for some ungodly reason, the cable outlets installed on the 'wrong' wall of our home - short of crawling through the 3-foot-high attic, splicing into the running cable, then running electrician's tape down the wall hopefully in-between the studs, the Roku allows us to use our large TV on a wall with no cable outlet (yes we need cable, as my wife and her 89-year-old father insist on it - i can live without TV
    • However, this HD Roku Streaming Stick constantly loses its pairing connection with its Roku remote control
    • It will lose connection at least 5 times a day
    • It streams Netflix, menus works fast and video generally looks fine, but the unit gets too hot (runs at 86 degrees C IDLE according to the secret menu) and the remote control buttons are harder to push and click very loudly, which is something more subjective but in my case I hate it

    • When it works I like it
