connection.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve found that connecting your Roku to your Wi-Fi network using an Ethernet cable instead of relying solely on Wi-Fi can improve its performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keep the Roku device close to the Wi-Fi router.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This tip can improve signal strength and minimize interference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If possible, avoid placing the Roku behind obstacles like walls or electronic devices that could interfere with the Wi-Fi signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Regularly clear the cache and data of apps.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roku allows you to remove and reinstall apps, which can resolve any potential performance issues caused by accumulated data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Frequently update the firmware.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roku frequently releases updates that include improvements to streaming stability and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, my advice is to ensure your Roku is set to receive updates automatically or check for updates manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, a stable internet connection, optimal device placement, regular maintenance, and keeping your Roku up to date are
