Legacy Tablo buffers and is slow to access

My Legacy Tablo buffers and is slow to access live or recorded programs when attempting to play. This started happening a few weeks ago and has gradually worsened to where it now starts to play (after an extended loading time) then buffers and drops the WiFi connection after a few seconds. The Tablo seems to be working fine otherwise (records, fully functional with the App, etc.), the problem is only when trying to play a program. It is updated to 2.2.60 and is recognized by both the Legacy and Gen4 Apps. WiFi strength is not the problem as all other WiFI functions to the ROKU and computer etc., have no issue. Is the Legacy Tablo Device defective or could it be due to a recent ROKU or Tablo software update?

Fixed it! Turns out the whole problem disappeared when I separated the Tablo from my Roku (Express 4K) by about 2 feet. The problem occured when the Tablo and Roku were sitting next to each other, almost touching, on the same shelf. I had a big clue as to the source of the problem when I found my second TV (outside on the patio) was working properly while the inside TV was not. I’ll chalk it up as yet another “Strangely Believe It!”
