What is the Roku operating frequency
What is the operating frequency for the Roku remotes that use RF instead of infrared? If my remote uses WiFi-Direct, is the operating frequency at 2.4GHz?

I can't say for certain if they only use 2.4 GHz, but I believe that's accurate. When I scan the WiFi bands while I sit here in my chair, I see several "hidden" WiFi devices. I'm pretty certain they are all Roku remotes. Most of the ones I see are on the 2.4 GHz band.
My scanner shows any reported vendor, and all of the 2.4 GHz hidden devices do not report their vendor, while the few I see on 5 GHz report as Technicolor, which is a router manufacturer. My guess is all the blank vendor devices are Roku remotes. One is showing a 100% signal, and I have a Roku remote within a foot of my laptop. The Roku it controls is hard wired, so it's not using WiFi for its network connection.
