    ATV4k saturates my gigabit network. Seems to work better on wifi.

    This has been rather nuts. If the ATV4k is on and streaming, the entire network is practically unusable. Nothing can get out, although I can still get email announcements but can't check them. After doing some research, people said to switch it to wifi, and it works better. Well, I did, and it...

    MP 1,1-5,1 Wifi won't reconnect after waking

    iPhone X Wifi disconnects while on sleep mode

    Since I updated to iOS 13, my iPhone has begun to disconnect to the wifi when it's locked. When I tap the screen to wake, I see my wifi symbol for like half a second, then it shows 4G, and then after a second or 2, it is once again connected to wifi. The issue is that this eliminates me using...
