It has all that and has worked fine for 2+ years, so that's not the issue.  This is a new problem.

Hi @glennh03,

If you are still having an issue connecting to your home network. We recommend performing the below steps and see if you can resolve the issue:

  1. Press Home on your Roku remote

This will restart the Roku. Once you are on the Home screen, please go to Settings > Network > Setup connection > Wireless > Scan again to see all networks > Enter your network password > Connect

Thanks.  I checked updates and it says up-to-date.  

I've rebooted multiple times ☹️

Appreciate the suggestions.

I am having this same issue and have already done all the suggestions. Resetting router and roku, resetting connection. My wifi is working fine as my phone is connected to it and my roku can also connect to the hotspot from my phone. Just not directly to the wifi. It is the 2.4 I am attempting to connect to

I hear you.  Seems others are having this issue too.  Roku support seems to have no idea what to do or how to solve this.  They keep repeating standard info about wifi setups/settings (which is clearly not relevant as it worked fine until recently) and resetting the Roku.
