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

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.

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.
