Can't connect to COX provided hotspot

I have 4 Roku devices that will not connect to a 'CoxWiFi' hotspot near my house. I was able to make the connection with a FireStick so what could Roku be possibly doing to for preventing to connect to an open WiFi network? I am getting the generic 'Unable to connect to wireless network' error with code 014.50. 

I've tried every troubleshooting step I can think of so far and looked up which included resetting the network connections on the TV, doing a factory reset of the TV, powering down, unplugging the TV, forgetting the network and reconnecting to it as new. I also tried Cox support and they were absolutely worthless in trying to troubleshoot. 

Does anyone else have this problem or know a solution?

Re: Can't connect to COX provided hotspot

Just wondering if there's any special characters ($, %, &, *, etc.) in the Wi-Fi password.  The 014.50 error is often caused by them.

The wifi is an open hotspot provided by the ISP so there is no password.

Re: Can't connect to COX provided hotspot

Yes, that is what happens when it used to connect but I can't get it to connect at all to get the pop up window to select the dorm or hotel option. I would also have to connect to a wireless network from the tv to go the authenticating when I get the pop up to log into my ISP account to confirm I'm an active member.
