I have an android tv. It was working fine until I switch my broadband to stuff fiber.
Now it connects to WiFi and reconnects after 5s repeatedly, not sure what is causing problem. Other devices working.
I reset the TV, still no luck. Interestingly TV works with my mobile hotspot.
Any help or suggestion?

Did you call tech support? Is it a new router? Did you check 2.4 / 5 GHz, password, that sort of things? Do other devices connect on WiFi ok?

Simple solution is to put the old router back in service, problem solved.

Spark Max Fibre using Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, CRS125-24G-1S, Unifi UAP, U6-Pro, UAP-AC-M-Pro, Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple TV 4K (2017), iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Air 4th gen, iPhone 13, SkyNZ3151 (the white box). If it doesn't move then it's data cabled.

Do you know of a problem with the latest Spark router or is this just a throw away line?
