If you are only seeing 37 Mbps from the hard drive, that's really low. Note the capital "B", because it changes the actual speed tremendously. Assuming you wrote that correctly, a USB 2.0 hard drive should be able to transfer data 30–42 MB/s, which is 240-340 Mbps. You are correct that 37 Mbps from the hard drive should be enough, although this seems a low transfer rate from the HD. Have you checked the settings in the Plex server to see what bitrate it's set to? Perhaps it's too low, forcing the computer to transcode and reducing performance. I'm suspicious of either the Plex app/channel on the Stick, or the Plex server itself. But I can stream HD video from my DLNA server, with bitstreams exceeding 30 Mbps, without a problem. It's mainly for connecting to my home media when I'm traveling. While I have Plex, I don't use it on my home network. But the one Roku that I do run wireless (Insignia TV) doesn't have any issues with wireless streaming. I don't have the Stick+, and it's supposed to have improved wireless capabilities. I use different SSIDs to ensure I know which I'm connected to. Do you have different SSIDs for your different wireless bands? If you're only connecting to the 2.4 GHz radio, then you aren't getting.
