Hey all,
We have Meraki MR52’s and Roku devices absolutely destroy my access points. If someone fires up a Roku stick the device will latch on to the same WiFi channel as the nearest WAP and then transmit at full power on the same channel (madness). This spiked my WAP channel utilization to 100% and users immediately lose connectivity or speeds drop significantly. I’ve read a bunch about others experiencing this too...
Others online have stated that Roku used to have a secret developer menu where you could do a few button presses and get access to nitty gritty WiFi parameters and transmit power menu. On my newest Roku this menu is removed!
Wondering if others in corporate networks have had these issues and how you combat this.
Note: even if you hardwire the Roku device it still, no matter what, will transmit its own WiFi network. Apparently the remote uses WiFi to communicate. We’ve also tried using an IR remote instead of the WiFi remote but the Roku continues to transmit the network.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
