Did you reboot/reset?

Why don’t manufacturers put parameters in place to force a reboot when performance drops below a threshold? For instance, my streamer will stall, won’t load settings, menus, much less music. (It is hardwired and my internet speed tested fine, I suppose it was freshly rebooted!)

Is the streamer unable to tell it is jacked and not able to load the menu page? Why not? 

I didn’t list the manufacturer because I assume if I did, somebody would have a story about one they had for seven years that ran 24 hrs a day and was once dropped in a well…. but never required a reboot. Heading them off at the pass!
