Reading all these great suggestions—many thanks, y'all—leads me to think that what Villagetinker says here is EXACTLY what's going on. The modem is upgraded, and the Sony Blu-ray player cannot keep up with it, so to speak, I 'think' I can answer my own question as to whether the Roku stick will fare better connecting to the network than the Blu-ray player.
The Blu-ray player can remain to play discs. Are there different Roku sticks, and if so, what should I be looking for—and where can I find the best price? I should add that we are not television watchers; we don't subscribe to any cable or satellite television. We watch primarily Prime, Netflix, YouTube, BritBox. I wouldn't think we would need anything terribly elaborate. Or am I wrong?...
Many thanks again!
