Roku Bandwidth Adjustment

If you experience a lot of buffering issues when trying to stream online content try adjusting your bandwidth setting. This can also help you use less bandwidth if your internet provider has a data cap or limit.

That bandwidth setting is only for the ethernet only and not the Wi-Fi. So unless you're using ethernet instead of Wi-Fi, you're not going to see a difference in bandwidth consumption over Wi-Fi.

MY GOD! THANK YOU! I run a trailer park wifi and Every single crying person has a Roku. Everyone else is fine. This should give me a solution. Thank you so much!

This does not work on newer TCL TVs. The menu is there but the bit rate selected will not stay. It will revert back to Auto after pressing Home button.

so none of that did anything. i did your button pushes and all they did was ended on one of the base options and did not go to a bit stream page.

It's not working on my Roku 3. I've tried several times. I noticed your screen says you are not connected to WiFi, so I even disconnected the WiFi and tried again several more times. I have an LG TV with a Roku 3 box. Any suggestions?

My Ruko model 3930RW doesn't matter what manual selection you make it goes right back to Automatic. I tried hitting the home button for streaming and could tell the picture was perfect even on the lowest setting so that doesn't work with the ruko I picked up last week. My budget doesn't allow me to have unlimited amounts of data, I wanted to lower it. I guess I'll take it back and go with a different streaming device.

My Roku stick bandwidth keeps spiking to over 200mbps bandwidth. I have no idea how to stop it, or why it's even using that much bandwidth in the first place. It's absolutely insane.

I learned this trick years ago and it worked for a long time but now if you change the setting to the lowest and then go back in to check it, it has automatically changed back to the highest setting. Do you know why it is doing that and how to get it to stay on the lowest setting? I'm not sure why this worked for years for me but doesn't now.

Dang, its not working on our campers rokus. Is there a new button set to make this work?

[ericvonfaulstich]

Excellent thank you
Running way smoother and picture quality changed significantly

[nkkri]

Does this work on the new Roku sticks? I tried it and no matter how fast I entered the buttons on the remote I could not get to the screen to change to the menu letting me change the data rate.
I was visiting a friend in another State who would get disconnected from his wifi and thought it would be worth seeing if this would help. He has a strong WiFi signal so that's not the problem.

Do you have any tips for roku audio dely while using bluetooth headphones

[borimaleful]

What happens when it does not want to grab the lowest bandwidt and it stays on automatic?

[Royfig]

Hi! I tried this trick and nothing happens... I have a roku stick 3800X ver 10.5.0. You know another metod?

Hello. I am tech stupid. My question is, how can I boost my ROKU from my house out to my shop, about 80 feet away. I have two ROKUs in my house. Thank you for your time.

Can you do a factory reset and get into this menu ? This doesn't work on 32 and 40 TCL TVs.

[ogdoom]
