But after I unplugged everything and set up in the RV, it demanded an internet connection for the power-up, even though I was using the same router with the same SSID. 


If that wasn't some fluke, like the Roku thought it needed an update for some reason, the something has changed in the Roku OS. I really hope that isn't the case, but if it's accurate, then the only recourse would be to buy one of those inexpensive Android based media players that has a USB port, and use that instead of a Roku. I know those will boot without an Internet connection.
