Apple TV 4K has slower wifi speeds than all other devices.

I have gigabit speeds at my house. On my phone, I average 300-400mbps WiFi while my Apple TV 4K only gets 10 download at most. I have forgotten the wifi network and re added it as well as fully resetting the Apple TV. It sits right next to my hub router on a Plume mesh system with no obstructions. Any insights? I’m on tvOS 16.6

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 16

Apple TV 4k 128 Super Slow WiFi Speeds I just bought a brand new Apple TV 4k 128 yesterday and it's doing the exact same thing my 2-year old one does, it only gets 5-15mbps WiFi while everything else next to it gets over 500mbps. I have Gig internet with Xfinity and can stand right next to the Apple TV and get 1000mbps on my iPhone. It pixelates and loses connection and it's extremely frustrating. Without recommending I get a network upgrade or a new mesh system (which I don't need), does anyone have a clue why this is happening?

Apple TV 4K looses wifi connection during idle Hi Apple folks! My newly acquired AppleTV 4K (A2737) looses WIFI connection during the day when it sits idle. Must reboot it every morning/evening for it to come back on line to watch TV. (It don't help to swop networks) There are totally 3 Apple TV in the house (Additionally two A1625). The A1625's work fine. There are 12 Apple devices (iMac, Mac, TV, iPhone, iPads and watches) of the totally 25 devices on our network (partly wired) and all works fine except A2737. (We have cameras and more on line) I have not tested ethernet cabling it yet because that is awkward; It's mounted on the back on a wall TV high up and far from a switch.. A2737 is auto setup as a copy of A1625. Recently applied an tvOS update (16.3) but that did not change anything. Wifi signal strength is 4 (out of 5 dots) I have tried to set fixed IP outside the DHCP range. No change. Our network is serviced by a dinosaur Apple Airport Time Capsule (OS 7.9.1). Works fine!!! What have I tried?: I have reset wifi-settings in A2737 several times. Would cabling it help? (I have a very good signal strength) Using my iPhone as router makes no difference until I reboot A2737) Would it help do factory reset? Could it be a h/w issue in A2737? ? ? Would appreciate your hints on how to proceed Thanks for reading all my text I tried to be explicit and if I forgot something that could be the solve.. Have a great day out there! Kind regards Bootheflyer

It can be too close. Prefer 3 ft (1m) or more.

Orientation for the antennas on both devices can change optimal connections.

Else consider ethernet.
