Roku Smart Soundbar Network Issue
Hello, I have a Roku Soundbar device and it has had issue connecting with wifi before and I do not remember how It was resolved. I went through all possible fixes on both device and network side, but...

The alternative is to simply disable DFS usage in your router (if available and if your culprit), and continue to use the older Roku device.
I have both older and newer Roku devices (some capable of DFS and others not capable). I do not use DFS although available on one of my routers. DFS usage can help if you are in a very crowded environment, but unless you really need it due to overcrowding, you will likely get by just fine using non-DFS channels.
DFS will only affect your 5ghz band. Try verifying that your 2.4ghz band is enabled and working and see if the Roku device can connect to it. (sometimes difficult to do with mesh-type setups).
What is the model number of your router? (From what I saw, Glofiber either provided users with an Eero or Calix routers for new users). Both these routers support DFS (depending on model number). Unless you bought/brought or are using your own router with Glofiber, you should likely have one of the above mesh-centric routers.
This was working fine until last nights or this mornings roku update push.
Can not turn DFS on or off. The router is an Erros Pro 6
Could it be that the streambar just went bad. I mean it recognizes the network signal strength "excellent" just can not connect.. and can not get to home or any other settings.
I believe we bought this 5 years ago could that be an issue, used hard, I understand thermal cycling.
As for the DFS we only stream roku channels, pluto, tubi, SiriusXM keep screen saver off especially when listening to music. So my wife is talking the Bernapoodle large one to the park for play time. Then going to best buy and asking them if they can test it. Can you recommend streambar with wireless sybwoofer and satilite speakers. If I have to buy a new one then so be it.
Before buying another Streambar, try connecting the Streambar to the Guest Network of the Eero. This is the usual workaround for those having Eero and Roku issues.
Sometimes either a Roku or an Eero update will affect connection for a bit and switching over to the Guest Network will hopefully allow it to connect.
