Download a WiFi app (like
SpeedTest or
WiFi Analyzer ) on you smart phone and stand next to your lanai TV (turned off).
You want to be on the 5.0 GHz frequency not the 2.4 GHz. Then pick a channel your neighbor is NOT ON. I like Ch. 161.
Move your Modem/Router 5 feet from any electronic device, like computer or TV.
Run a test or two. Make sure you get NO LOSS at different times during the day. If you have LOSS, then you may have bad cable splitters in your house. Don't use cheap splitters. Noise on the line will make your TV drop the WiFi connection for a while. Interference from your neighbor(s) on the same channel will do the same.
I took out 3 splitters in my home and now run everything off WiFi 5.0 GHz. Handles 5 devices at once including 4K TVs.
Good luck...
