Roku 3 Remote Control Interference with LAN WiFi

Roku 3 Remote Control Interference with LAN WiFi

From the Amazon review below, the subject of WiFi channel 'jam' reducing bandwith to other WiFi devices.

Our household has 2 iPhones 2 iPads usually on during TV watching. I have not noticed any 'jam' from these devices and the OOKLA speed test result is OK.

I do not understand this Roku 3 [Model 4200x] issue - Only when headphones in use?

"The new ROKU changed their technology to use a WiFi-Direct interface to its new remote control so it can offer a headset input, but it is flawed because it broadcasts on the same channel (2.4 or 5) that it receives on. What's worse, the WiFi signal is so strong that it jams the wireless internet signals from your wireless router to all of your other wireless devices"

>>> when headphones are plugged in to it.

No headphones plugged in, no interference - Correct?
