    Do you get any error messages or codes when you try to connect?  Can you connect to your phone's hotspot?

  • Hi, I'm having an issue with 2 roku devices. One is the small express roku and the other is a 52" roku tv. There is one roku here that is having no issues @ all. ive tries everything (reboot, factory reset, logging out & back in) nothing works. Everything else is connecting just fine (laptops, tablets etc.) I read there was a hack to over 300,000 accts and wonder if that may be the problem. If u cld please assist me with this issue, it'd be great. Thanks so much,
