Just switched from ATT Uverse to COX because i was told it was a faster connection. still seems to be slow. I have the cable going right into the wireless router. I do a speed check and I am getting about 5mbps.
I am running a roku device
2 questions...
1)is there a better way to hook up a roku? is there something that will take the cable directly from the wall? The roku is nothing but a power cord and an HDMI that goes from the device to the TV.
2)what speed internet do i need to have enough speed to not buffer?

Are you saying you're only getting 5 with a wired connection?

Roku 3's have an ethernet port.

For streaming HD (1080) with no issues I like at least 8-10 per device (streaming at the same time). I usually only have 2 devices with a high demand at any time so my 25 service is sufficient.

What device are you running the speed test on? The roku?
Try a speedtest via hard wire if possible.
