Yeah it’s been an issue since July/Aug, most companies would have had a hotfix within one release cycle smh

I have just moved to a place with spectrum WiFi and am having the same problems. I’ve followed all the steps and nothing is working.

Re: New Roku TV will not stay connected to Spectrum community wifi

What Spectrum area are you in (metro area) and what type of Roku device?
Make sure you have installed all the latest Roku updates and power cycle your Roku and try to connect again.

if that doesn’t work, see if you are able to connect to your cellular hotspot WiFi (Android or iPhone etc mobile data service provider).  If that works, then you need to contact Spectrum and have them push any updates and restart their routers at your community WiFi.

if you can’t connect to cellular hotspot either then you might have a defective Roku device.

Mine was fixed with the but 2 weeks ago it has started disconnecting like it was before. I checked for an update this morning and the software is up to date.

Mine is still working OK since late Jan and no issues.  Occasionally an app will have issues (like STARZ) but is usually fixed by refreshing the WiFi connection.

Re: New Roku TV will not stay connected to Spectrum community wifi

It’s a Roku Onn device. And i checked that everything would be fine. Called spectrum and they said to use an Ethernet cable. I tried that and it’s not working. So I’ll call them back and probably try to get them to reset the WiFi. If not, I will go insane and may end up getting a different tv. I love Roku though so if I do have to get a new tv I won’t be happy about it. Also, who can afford tvs these days? 

it just seems like a Roku problem and they need to update their tvs to work with community WiFi’s.
