Roku wont connect to dorm, incorrect password
Hello, I have tried for hours to connect my roku to my dorm.
It has previously worked and connected no problem. I have tried network reset also and still no luck.
When it prompts me to connect to roku and then use the password provided, it always says "incorrect password"
I have a roku streaming stick 4k.
Let's back up a second. When you connect a phone or laptop to this net you do it by accepting terms on a web page, right? If so ..
This establishes your connection for that device. That's okay for a computer or phone that has a web browser, but your Roku does not have one.
In order to log the Roku into the net's web page, you log in via your computer/phone/tablet as usual but you run it through the Roku instead of directly.
You do this by connecting your computer or mobile device to the Roku via a wifi-direct connection. When you then log into the system's web page on your phone's/computer's browser while connecting through the Roku it establishes the Roku's connection.

One caveat: the Roku must already have been set up and linked to your Roku account. It's easiest to do this at home before you leave. Otherwise you can do the initial setup over a conventional WiFi connection, like a WiFi hotspot on your phone, before connecting through the Hotel/Dorm setup process.
