ROKU Suddenly won't connect to Internet
I've had my Roku Streaming Stick for a year and a half and I've never had a problem connecting to WI-FI or internet. Suddenly, it tells me I am not connected to Internet. I've done everything I was ...

Me too! I have the same problem.
Everything was working fine last night, but this morning my Roku Express can't "see" my wi-fi network, though annoyingly it can see all my neighbours' networks! I've tried restarting the router and the Roku box several times with no apparent effect. I've made no changes myself to my PC or network. All help appreciated!!
ClayClai, did you get yours to work? Not sure what router firmware you're using, but I'm using OpenWRT, and the solution was to uncheck the "allow legacy 802.11b rates" setting, then Save, and Save and Apply.
The setting is under:
Network->Wireless
Click the Edit button associated with the 2.4GHz radio
Go to Advanced Settings tab
uncheck "allow legacy 802.11b rates"
Save, then Save and Apply. Possibly reboot the router after this.
I cannot connect either. I have tried everything restarting the Roku, checking my network connection, and I have even factory reset the Roku, still nothing. Please Help!
Yes this worked for me. Thank you

Thanks! This was the only solution that worked for me.

Unchecked "allow legacy 802.11b rates", saved, saved and applied, and a reboot. Good to go!Wow! This thread has been an eye-opener! This is my first time in the community. I was about to go nuts figuring out what happened between the time I turned off my TV Sunday night and when I turned it back on Monday evening. My Ultra had worked flawlessly for almost three years until then.
Spectrum is my ISP and I also have their streaming service, which was the only thing I could watch until this evening. Multiple restarts of my Roku and reboots of modem and router. Still got an error that I wasn't connected to the Internet - whether the wired or wireless connection - though the About in settings said I was connected. Spectrum ended up sending out a tech and he couldn't figure it out, but he was able to determine that the problem wasn't on their end.
Something I read here prompted me to go into the router settings. Ultimately, the only thing I changed was to have a static address and to select DNS automatically. Now everything is working fine. The only correlation I can come up with is that I stopped using a proxy server I was paying for and they took my IP address out of their system.

Update
I haven’t connected since my post stating the problem was solved. Now it’s right back to nothing works. IOS mobile remote app can’t find the tv again. No mobile remote. No screen mirroring. This is BS!
