Intermittent disconnects via ethernet

I recently purchased eero Pro and am having a problem with intermittent disconnects to devices connected to the wireless units.  More specifically, in my setup 2 of the routers connect wirelessly (i.e. not via ethernet backhaul) and I am running Rokus wired off the eero's ethernet/LAN ports.  Fairly frequently when I am watching, for example, Netflix or Amazon, I very briefly lose the signal - the picture either goes blank or shows "static".  The interruptions are very brief but it seems like it happens (on average) about every 15-20 minutes.  Has anyone else experienced a similar issue or have any suggestions?

I should also note that running download tests on the connections provided to the Roku players consistently shows good results.  I previously was running the Roku players wired via powerline adapters with my old router and never had this problem, despite having significantly lower download speeds.

    W10 drops internet connection every 30min. Is there a way to keep the band on 2.4 vs 5ghz?

      Thanks for following up. Sorry, I'm not familiar with W10—is there a chance this was an autocorrect? If not, would you be able to provide a bit more information regarding the device? 

      In regards to forcing a frequency, that isn't currently supported with eero. eero is designed to have a single SSID, which allows devices to roam freely without having to switch between the 2.4 and 5 Ghz network.

      Davezac Thanks for clarifying. We should definitely take a look as that shouldn't be the case. Feel free to give us a call at 1-877-659-2347 or email us at support@eero.com . Thanks!
