Let me tell you about the hell that is Roku. They create so much wireless interference and I can’t just get rid of them.
The problem stems from WiFi direct. They automatically scan for the busiest channel and then broadcast full strength on that channel. I don’t know why they do this but it creates a crazy amount of interference.
And before you ask, no you can’t turn WiFi direct off. Also the remote uses WiFi direct for some reason.
WHY, ROKU WHY!
About 5 or 6 years ago I interviewed a girl who had been working on that tech, and it stunned me that the suspicions folks like me had were being verified by a software engineer that had worked on the feature. I want to say that looking back may naïveté seems quaint, but it’s still terrible and unbelievable that most companies spy on all their users’ communications and lifestyles at literally every opportunity.
