Hey @@javic12,  

Welcome aboard!  

I appreciate you letting us know about your network issue. To get this sorted, please share this information:  

  • Have there been any recent changes to your network or provider?  
  • What error message or code do you see when trying to connect?  
  • How far is your device from your network router?  
  • When did this issue happen?  

In the meantime, you can check how to connect to a mobile hotspot and see if it works.  
Please keep us updated on your findings.

Thanks,

I tried ALL of your recommended steps and NOTHING worked, except Live TV; none of my channels. I recently changed my internet to COX. Everything was working for a while then started getting “unable to reinstall from network” error message. I did a FACTORY RESET. Home>Settings>system>Advanced system settings>Factory reset>Factory reset everything. Make sure you have the ROKU Remote app installed on your phone because your regular TV remote may quit working. Followed the factory reset instructions, and had to pair my remote again (Settings>Remotes & devices>Remotes). NOW EVERYTHING IS WORKING!!!

    Charlesnida, just so you and anyone else that reads this thread knows, you cannot use the app on a phone as a remote once you factory reset a Roku device if the device doesn't have a wired Ethernet connection to get it connected to a network.  You must have a physical remote if your only option is a Wi-Fi connection.
