Try resetting your network connection on your Roku.

    OP did a factory reset; there's not  a wifi connection stored on the device anymore. Mine did the same thing a couple days ago and I tried updating the software, then restarting the Roku, then restarting the wifi connection, then factory resetting the Roku. I physically moved my TV and Roku downstairs and it's literally 2' from my router right now and will not connect. Last time this happened I said "F- it" and just bought a new Roku- that worked for a couple years...until this.

      Roku model number (Settings/System/About) and router model number?

      Are you getting any error message numbers on screen?

      Welcome ScottH5 

      Thanks for posting here!

      This must be tough for you. I want to gather more information to investigate it further. Can you please provide the details below:

      • Roku device model, serial number, device ID, and OS version. (this can all be found in Settings > System > About)
      • Tracker ID (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).
      • Modem/router model and ISP.

      In the meantime, try connecting your Roku to a mobile hotspot. Click here for more info. Then, please tell us what you find out. 

      Thanks,
