I had a similar problem, turns out my router was dropping bonjour/upnp packets. I think that was preventing my devices from properly discovering what services were available on my network. I never found a solution for the problem (OpenWRT+WRT3200ACM), but bought a different router and the problem magically went away (OpenWRT+R7800).
Could be any number of reasons why you are having issues unfortunately.
- scrooched_moose 6y agoInteresting. Thanks for the information. Might be a project for a cold night this winter, or we just are pretty happy with Rokus now. I'm certain the onset of the problem didn't coincide with a new router, and I've gone through a couple since it started so I assumed that wasn't the issue.
- bmurphy1976 6y agoYeah, who knows. In my case it worked for 1 to 72 hours after rebooting the router, then would drop 100% of the packets until the next reboot. It took some time to figure out what was going on.
- ryanbrunner 6y agoI had the same problem, including the deteriorating performance when it used to be reliable (I don't know if the timing is the same but sounds about right), and the router fixed it for me as well. Maybe there were protocol / firmware changes that increased the demand on the router? I went from a bargain router to a nicer mesh setup this spring and the problem just vanished overnight.
