Why Does the Roku Keep Buffering?
Roku buffering is usually caused by a slow internet connection, overheating, or an out-of-date operating system. Media apps that automatically switch to high-resolution videos while on a slow connection that can’t handle larger files can also cause buffering.

Remove a channel or app and then re-add it. Delete the app or channel that’s buffering a lot and then add it back again.
Check for overheating. If your Roku starts buffering an hour or so after it’s turned on, it could be overheating. Clean it frequently, so dust doesn’t accumulate on it, and make sure that it’s on a hard surface instead of a cloth or covering. You may also want to position it on its side, so more of its surface is exposed to air.

Switch to a wired internet connection. If possible, connect your Roku device to a wired internet connection. Wired connections can be faster than wireless ones and can decrease the chances of media buffering.
Disconnect other devices from your internet. Smartphones, tablets, computers, and video game consoles all using the internet simultaneously can cause buffering when trying to stream media as the network becomes overwhelmed and unable to process all the downloads and uploads at once. Try placing these other devices in Airplane mode or canceling any downloads or updates they may have running.
Restart your modem. A quick modem reset will make a new connection to your internet service provider, which can often be faster than what you had before.
Use your Roku at a different time. Internet services often get a lot of traffic on Friday and Saturday nights which can slow down the speeds for everyone. Experiment with streaming content on your Roku at various other times on different days to see if you can find a time that has less traffic and faster speeds.
Switch to a faster internet connection. A slow internet connection is a common cause of Roku buffering problems. If possible, see if you can connect to another one that has faster speeds and less traffic.

Talk to your internet provider. Your service provider might be able to analyze your internet usage to detect possible causes of slow download speeds. They may be able to suggest manual changes to your router settings or even offer you an upgrade to a faster internet service.

Manually change the video quality. Many Roku apps, such as YouTube, allow you to change the resolution of videos within their media player or app settings. Try selecting 1080p instead of 4K to see if this stops the buffering. If buffering persists, select 720p or an even lower quality or resolution setting.

Use another device. If your Roku won’t stop buffering and buying a new model isn’t an option, try streaming content from apps on other devices. Smart TVs, video game consoles, and even some Blu-ray players support many popular streaming apps. You may even be able to cast content to your TV from your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
