You don't need 3 routers. A roku unit for each television and you can mix models. I have the premier on one the express on my other 3 televisions.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.One router is fine as long as it is capable of handling multiple devices at once. Yes, you can mix Roku models. Check, of course, to be sure your Roku model is a good match for the television to which you have it connected. If you plan to upgrade a television to a 4k in the near future it would make sense to buy a Roku Premiere Ultra now because it will work with your older television and you won't have to buy a new Roku when you get the new television.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.As long as you have a router that's capable of handling several streams of data (which most current-gen are), you should only need one. I'm assuming you're connecting all via wi-fi, or one via ethernet and the rest via wifi, unless you've got your whole household wired like mine. Also, it depends on your video subscription packages, the standard Netflix package lets you stream to 2 devices at once, you would have to upgrade your package to stream to 4 maximum. It will not matter what model Roku you have in each room, they don't all need to be the exact same. I've had a ChromeCast, a Roku, a Smart TV app, and game station all stream at once in my house.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You need an ethernet switch if your router has less than 4 ports. You can mix them up but make sure they all have ethernet connections.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.One decent wireless router with average speed internet is all you should need.
