Device slow to connect to smart hub

I have recently moved to EE from talktalk

Before moving, my Roku stream bar would connect to my talktalk router quickly.

Since moving to EE I've noticed that the stream bar takes a couple of minutes to connect before I can watch anything.

Any tips on resolving this lag please?

 

Thanks

@tmobuser   You can not speed up a connection it takes as long as it takes otherwise it’ll connect quicker in the first place. 

To contact EE Customer Services dial 150 From your EE mobile or 0800 956 6000 from any other phone.

@tmobuser Where do you think the issue is, initial wi-fi connection?, if you keep the power on the Roku does that go away, or account speed with it  contacting Roku after power up?

Hi @tmobuser 

Try clearing the Roku cache. 

Thanks

Yes it's just the initial connection and once connected it works fine.

It started as soon as the new router was being used/ISP switch.

Would fixing the IP make a difference?

@tmobuser You could try that but i would suspect not, hub seems pretty good with IP control, Ethernet network is slower than normal to connect so possible wi-fi is also, you could try the settings for AX/AC mode, and possible channel, not sure if the Roku is 5G or 2.4G but you will see when you look at the hub. 192.168.1.254 gets you there with web browser. Checked and seems that it is wi-fi 5 compatible so you may see it on the 5G connected device list.
