Hey gang, how can I fix this issue? Every time I turn my Roku on my roommate gets bumped off his work VPN. Anyone ever have this issue? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Sounds like 2 devices are getting the same ip.
My daughter used to have work VPN problems on our LAN and it ended up being because she was on our eero guest network, that served a different IP address depending which of our 3 APs she was connected to. Solution for her was to use the main network with IP address reservation so that even if she “roamed” to a different AP, her local LAN IP address stayed the same.
Different VPNs have different security measures to ensure other devices don’t hijack an established connection…. Changes in IP addresses can cause some VPNs to decide that you need to re-authenticate.
Can you provide what networking equipment you’re using? It kind of sounds like you don’t have a router that only one person can use the internet at a time.
Sounds like you need more internet bandwidth to keep that VPN tunnel from collapsing while the tv is streaming.
