@Alonzo 

Thanks for the inquiry.

Can you help clarify the issue that you are experiencing? Has this device been activated and set up already, or is this the first time that you are activating and setting up your device?

Please keep us posted.


Thanks,
Danny

I have the same problem - I am trying to connect a new Roku Express to a guest wifi network. The Roku sees the network, but does not see that it requires a password. When it tries to connect, it says no internet. How do I get roku to recognize that a password is required for that network ?

Hi, super frustrated here. I followed the info for connecting to the hotel wifi. Problem is, when the instructions pop up on the tv screen. The roku tv network disappears/is not longer available to connect to in order to follow the on screen instructions. I've tried on both my laptop and cell phone with no use. How am I supposed to complete the instructions if the "wireless" connection disappears/disconnects me.

Did anyone find an answer to this? Because the one given definitely doesn't work if you have NO CONNECTION!

I just bought a new Roku that I'm trying to connec to viasat Go wifi. I've already updated the roku, but the go wifi requires you to sign in to use the free version. Using the steps Roku has listed to connect to a "Hotel or dorm" doesn't work because there's no internet service until you sign in. If it won't connect,  it's useless and I'll just return it.
