Have you tried a "System restart" located under Settings->System->Power or simply unplugging the power for several seconds?

Greetings from the Roku Community, @Edtv!

Thanks for reaching out and for trying to troubleshoot your Roku device by unplugging and replugging it again. We'd be happy to suggest further steps to help you get back on streaming. 

Before proceeding, is this your first time setting up your Roku device? If so, you need to connect your device to a strong network connection to start streaming. 

Use the following steps to connect your Roku device to Wi-Fi when prompted during Guided Setup.

  1. Select Wireless on your Roku device
  2. Select your wireless network from the list of available Wi-Fi networks
  3. If you do not see your network, select Scan again to see all networks
  4. Enter your network password
  5. Select Connect
  6. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the rest of the setup process

For more details, you may check this support article related to this: How to connect your Roku streaming device to the internet

Feel free to reach out if you need further clarification and assistance.

Regards,
Carly
