Re: Roku Express isnt working. I cant get past the update

Welcome to the Roku Community, @Losingthewill!

Unable to get past the update screen could be very frustrating, and I completely understand that. No worries; I am here to assist.

Could you let me know what error message you're seeing on the screen when your Roku tries to install the update? 

In the meantime, you may try to connect your Roku to a different internet connection, such as a Mobile Hotspot, to see if that'll do the trick.

Please let me know how this goes!

Best,

Re: Roku Express isnt working. I cant get past the update

@LosingthewillHave you tried using a network app like WiFi Analyzer for Android or something similar from the App store? If not, install it then see how many others use the same channel/band and log into the router and switch to a channel with less congestion. If you use service provider router, its likely the channels are being selected by the default, 'auto' setting which is often the problem..manual selection is always best
