Roku is a great option. That's what I use in my main system for streaming Netflix and Disney +. You can literally add 100s of channels to it, including music services. Many of the channels are free.
Best budget reliable wifi bridge to convert home wifi to wired for an old TV.
Just looking for some advice and suggestions from actual users of these wifi bridges.
The problem.
In my bedroom I have an old Samsung SmartTv that does not seem to be quite so smart any longer!
Its old but a great picture still and is a 55" tv so good for my old eyes.
Problem is that it loses its wireless connection every time it is put into standby with the resulting couple minute wait to reconnect and then enter password etc.
What I was thinking of trying was one of those cheaper wifi bridges that will see my home wifi network and I can then just connect with a regular ethernet cable into the back of the TV thereby side stepping its dropping of the wireless network every time it is powered off.
No it is not a network issue, every other device in the house (MANY!) work flawlessly.
Reading reviews for various models on Amazon reveals a mixed bag of potential horrors.
So that is hopefully where this community comes in, point me in the right direction the first time!
Many thanks and stay safe!
