No active internet Roku becomes a brick

Roku Ultra 4670X

Software 12.5.0 build 4175-46

Internet service went down, went to access my local media server with Emby, Roku shows 9 blank channel spots and complains of no internet. Multiple restarts did not resolve.  Has to be one of the last 2 software updates because internet service was out 3 times last month and no issue.

      Wired all other PC's and server wired.  All others working.  Roku becomes a BRICK with 9 empty channel boxes that you cannot access with the cursor and a helpful banner for Roku TV.

      Thanks for the follow-up, JosephD.

      Would you mind trying to connect this device to an alternative network, such as a mobile hotspot, just to check if there will be a difference? Was the issue also persistent with your other device?

      Please keep us updated.

      Regards,
      Janadee

        That is the entire issue, when the Roku can not detect INTERNET it becomes a brick now.  As for testing my other device it is a Roku 3 and EOL and I don't use it. PC's or my phone can still access my media server.
