    None of the tips suggested by Roku tech support work.  Unless this is resolved, I think I will stop purchasing Roku  products in the future and switch to Apple TV or another ecosystem.

    Hi, Cvincent2 TexasBuyer 

    Thanks for posting, and welcome to the Roku Community.

    We understand the issue you've encountered with your Roku Ultra not getting connected with the Wired Network or with your ethernet, and we appreciate you for taking the time and effort to troubleshoot the issue.

    For this moment, we'd like to investigate this issue, and we would need a hand for us to review this case further. We'd like to ask for the following details below:

    • Roku device model, serial number, device ID, and software OS/version. (These can all be found in Settings > System > About).
    • Internet Service Provider and Modem/Router Model and Brand where the ethernet is connected from.
    • Tracker ID when this issue occurs. (When you see this issue occur, press the Home button 5 times, followed by the Back button 5 times, and provide us with this ID).

    Once we gather these information, we'll forward it to the appropriate Roku team for further investigation.

    We hope to hear back a response from you regarding this matter.

    Best wishes,
    Kash
