      IPhone is a good, old 8 plus. Using hotspot off Spectrum Mobile who is also ISP. Tried everything- toggling stuff, restarting phone and Roku, resetting network on both. Up to this point, with infinite patience and persistence, I could connect. Not anymore. Hotspot readily connects to all other devices except Roku.

        TahoeAnnie-

        What model Roku?  Some only support the original 2.4 GHz WiFi band but not the newer 5 GHz band.

        You may have to reconfigure your hotspot to use the 2.4 GHz band.
