Before I purchase a ROKU Stick, will it connect to our park WIFI?
Our park requires a code entry once the device detects and connects to the wifi. That works fine on laptops, tablets and phones (screen to enter code shows), but not sure about a stick.
anyone with a similar situation?
Many hotels, dorms, campgrounds, etc, are set up with a wifi system that you connect to by logging in on a web page via an internet web browser. This establishes your connection for that device.
The Roku has no web browser. In order to log the Roku into the net's web page, you log in via your computer/phone/tablet as usual but you run it through the Roku instead of directly.
You do this by connecting your computer or mobile device to the Roku via a wifi-direct connection. When you then log into the system's web page on your browser while connecting through the Roku it establishes the Roku's connection.

One caveat: the Roku must already have been set up and linked to your Roku account. If this is a new, never-set-up unit (or one that has had its link wiped out by a factory reset) you'll need to set it up and link it via a conventional net connection before using the hotel/dorm login procedure - a cell phone hotspot can be used for this.
Thank you kindly.
Excuse my ignorance, but Specifically, how will I connect my iPad or iPhone directly to the ROKU in order to perform the connection steps on the device screen?
Thank you very much.
Please excuse my ignorance, but specifically how do I connect my iPad or iPhone to the ROKU stick/module in order to complete the connection on the screen?

When you get to what is listed as step 7, you will be prompted on the tv screen as how to make the wifi-direct connection via your phone/tablet/laptop and establish the login.
