Roku Signal Strength Excellent, Yet Won't Connect to My Intel Evo Laptop

Hey everyone,

I hope you're all doing well. I'm reaching out to the community because I've encountered a puzzling issue with my Roku device and my Intel Evo laptop [https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/intel-evo ], and I'm hoping someone might have some insights or suggestions to help me out.

Here's the problem I'm facing:

Signal Strength Excellent but No Connection: Despite having excellent signal strength on my Roku device, my Intel Evo laptop refuses to connect to it. The Roku device is clearly visible on my network, and other devices in the house can connect to it without any issues. However, my laptop seems to be unable to establish a connection, even though the signal strength is strong.
This issue is perplexing because the signal strength indicates that the Roku device should be accessible, but for some reason, my Intel Evo laptop is unable to connect to it. I've tried troubleshooting the issue by restarting both the Roku device and my laptop, but the problem persists.

The inability to connect to my Roku device from my Intel Evo laptop is frustrating, especially considering that other devices can connect seamlessly. I rely on the ability to stream content from my laptop to the Roku device for entertainment and productivity purposes, and not being able to do so is proving to be quite inconvenient.

If anyone else has encountered a similar issue where their Intel Evo laptop fails to connect to a Roku device despite excellent signal strength, or if you have any suggestions for troubleshooting and resolving this issue, I would greatly appreciate your insights.

Thank you all in advance for your help and support.

Re: Roku Signal Strength Excellent, Yet Won't Connect to My Intel Evo Laptop

While not exactly the same our situations are similar.  You are reading excellent signal strength on your Roku device-I believe that display continues whether or not there is even a signal available. My landline phone is down right now so I have no internet yet when trying to connect to connect to my cell phone for entertainment (which I have done many times) I am now having issues connecting my Roku device to my cell signal. My laptop connects but my Roku device does not. Why did it stop & is now not able to connect?

I haven’t figured out my problem yet but maybe this will help you. I have 2 Rokudevices & neither will connect to my cell signal at this time.
