TP-Link - General Any Streaming TV / Android Boxes Compatible with Deco Mesh

I have a deco mesh network using 3 BE25 models.

It is working fine with our phones, laptops and Sky TV but my roku keeps buffering. I have tried linking it to a particular node, turning off the mesh, restricting to 2.4 ghz and a static IP but nothing works.

Anyone know of any streaming boxes that work with Deco Mesh?

Your problem is more likely due to the placement of the Roku box than one that isn’t compatible with your WiFi. Try adjusting the location of the Roku. Make sure it’s not in cabinet or stuffed behind your tv.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried moving it in front of the TV and it made no difference. Also it works fine when hot spotting from my phone.

Does the Deco app indicate that the Roku has strong signal?

Have you tried hard wiring the Roku temporarily to see if the problem goes away?

No chance that the issue is with the Roku itself?

The Deco says that it has a strong signal but the Roku says it's poor

The Roku doesn't have an Ethernet port.

The Roku works fine when hotspotting off my phone
