I have two Rokus successfully connected and in use: A 3700X and a 3900X. My GF's 3930X also connects just fine.
On Black Friday I got an SE which is also a 3930X but maybe with different firmware. I cannot get it to connect to the router (first step) at all. No error message; it just won't connect. I have two WiFi points and it will not connect to either. It's not a signal strength issue; it fails even next to the routers. I thought maybe it doesn't like my weak encryption (WEP64) but cranking it to a higher level didn't work. I also tried dropping WiFi security but while I could get the others to connect with heavier security or no security at all I could not get the new one to connect.
I returned the SE and bought what I thought would be another model -- box just says Express - but was also a 3930X. So I basically spent 12 additional dollars for a power cube. Oh, and it doesn't work either.
I tried taking it on the road (with a monitor) to try to test it on other WiFi and could not get it to fully connect but that may have been more about the web page verification* that is needed.
What else can I try to get this thing to connect? The WiFi access point is a Belkin N150. There is also a Microsoft MN700 but there have been compatibility issues with Rokus in the past.
I will try it soon at my business. But if no go I better return it. I just hope whatever they did is not incorporated into any future updates. I had that happen with my first Express. Worked fine. One day it was offline and it said to update the software. I did and it would no longer connect. Roku replaced it. New one connected, said let me check for updates. It updated. Then would no longer connect.
So what should I try to get this to connect?
* If you've never had the pleasure, if you connect a Roku to open WiFi where your phone would lead you to a web page where you promise not to download kiddie porn, the way Roku handles this is to ask if you are at a hotel or dorm or at home. If you say the former the Roku becomes a WiFi source and you connect your phone or other device to it and bring up the aforementioned web page. I got that far but not beyond that. And selecting home just keeps telling me to upgrade software.
