Don’t use a browser, use a Plex client that can direct play MPEG2. If your NAS support Hardware transcoding this can also help. ---

One of the things that made me stop using the HD-Homerun is that it was only 100mb and it would cause the subnet to slow down. So I created it’s own subnet and that worked better but it was a pain to maintain. So I stopped using it all together. Maybe the newer ones are faster, I haven’t checked… ---

Without HW transcoding, Live TV needs a CPU with a passmark score near 2000 per stream, that router is not it. Browsers do not decode MPEG2, thus a server transcode is required. For the Roku, make sure the **allow MPEG2** is checked (not on by default): [Settings: Plex for Roku | Plex Support](https://support.plex.tv/articles/204275243-settings-plex-for-roku/) ---
