Re: My hotspot isn’t showing up on my Roku

IPhone is a good, old 8 plus. Using hotspot off Spectrum Mobile who is also ISP. Tried everything- toggling stuff, restarting phone and Roku, resetting network on both. Up to this point, with infinite patience and persistence, I could connect. Not anymore. Hotspot readily connects to all other devices except Roku.

@TahoeAnnie-

What model Roku?  Some only support the original 2.4 GHz WiFi band but not the newer 5 GHz band.

You may have to reconfigure your hotspot to use the 2.4 GHz band.
