My roku won't connect to the wifi and my roommates will

My Roku disconnected from the internet a couple of months ago.  My roommate has the same Roku device I do (Roku express) and hers is still connected to the internet and works fine. I have tried restarting my Roku and the internet when those failed to work I factory reset my Roku. That hasn't worked either and now I can't get past the internet page because it won't connect to the Roku.

Re: My roku won't connect to the wifi and my roommates will

There are different models of the Roku Express. Which model is yours and which is your roommates? What are the exact model numbers. It makes a difference

@Mikaylas18

Thanks for the follow up.

I would recommend checking out our Support page for troubleshooting issues here: What should I do if I cannot connect to my home network or the internet?

Please answer the following questions so we can get a better understanding of what you are seeing:

- Have you ensured your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network for the device to connect to? The Roku Express/Premiere is only compatible with wireless b/g/n networks on the 2.4 GHz spectrum. 
- Have you tried changing the wireless broadcast channel on the router to see if this will allow your device to connect? 
- Have you tried moving the device closer to your router to see if you can get connected? 
- How long have you been experiencing this problem?

If those things still aren't helping, feel free to provide us with the serial number of your Roku from Settings>System>About along with the answers to the above questions and I'll be able to assist you further from there.


Thanks,
Danny
