Re: Stuck in internet set up and keeps restarting

The first thing to try is an alternate Internet connection. The easiest thing to try is a phone hotspot. For some users, this has allowed completing setup and then had no issues connecting to their home network.

But it's always possible that the device is defective. I had an Insignia Roku TV that was stuck on the update in a constant loop. I returned it to Best Buy and picked up another, and it's worked fine for close to 7 years. Sometimes electronic devices simply fail for no known reason.

@WendyJ1, if you have it plugged into your TV's USB port try using the supplied power adapter (assuming there was one).
