Roku WiFi Interference Problems (Causing slow throughput, timeouts, etc…)

WiFi Direct on Roku Remote seems to cause WiFi Interference on 2.4GHz.   I have a Roku 3 at home and can confirm this.  Unplug the Roku from power and WiFi interference is gone.

Here are my recommendations:

1) Roku needs to be hardwired
2) Customer needs WiFi AP that supports 5GHz
3) Once Roku is hardwired the WiFi Direct Roku remote should go to a channel on the 5GHz network and stop causing interference on 2.4GHz.

Other reports on online forums also suggest these steps.
