I'm having the same issue too, but mine is an Insignia Roku TV. I've done all the steps in this community thread too including a complete reset. I've also downloaded updates to a flashdrive and installed that to the tv. It is still saying "Wi-Fi hardware missing". I believe my issues started the same time as others on this thread in the mid-2023's according to time stamps in this community thread. I do not have the option to run an ethernet cord to this tv so wi-fi MUST work.

Hi @Sammieb,

Thanks for your first post in the Roku Community!

We appreciate you informing us about this issue on your Insignia Roku TV. Have you tried using an Ethernet cable or an alternative network, like a mobile hotspot, to see if the same issue occurs?

If the issue persists, contacting the TV manufacturer's support team would be better.

It is important to note that Roku-partnered TVs are managed and produced by the Roku Operating System's TV manufacturer.

You can contact Insignia Roku TV support here.

Please keep us posted if there's anything else we can help you with.

All the best,

Chel

So I take it after reading all the post and replies, we have not yet found a solution to this issue? My tv has been working just fine and then without warning “Not connected to the internet” and “MAC address hardware is missing”. Seems like someone should be on this.

There has been no solution offered to correct the problem. Both the Internet providers and the TV makers have been blamed for the problem and neither of them are at fault. It is Roku that has caused the problem and has not offered any kind of solution to fix the issue we all are having. I'm really disappointed with Roku not having a solution to fix this issue.
