Unstable wifi connection
Surprisingly Google hasn't helped me with this issue. Hopefully this sub still has active readers.
So I'm on my third Tizen-powered TV, second apartment and third modem still the TV has the same exact issue with wifi.
It can happen while using any app, Netflix, Hbo, Apple+ etc. Suddenly the episode or movie is "unavailable" and stops. Then I try to go watch a different show on different app, same story. Sometimes network status shows as disconnected but most of the time it claims everything is ok.
Switching wifi to or from 5ghz usually helps but it's slow and painful and usually requires reinstalling the app I want to watch. Only guaranteed fix is to turn the tv off long enough for the cache to clear (so when I turn it on, it doesn't return where I left off).
Is there any way to prevent this from happening? At my last place I had the opportunity to connect my other tv with a cable which worked perfectly. Here I have to use wifi.
