Hello! @collinsbrook,

Thank you for your post in the Roku Community!

We appreciate you contacting us regarding your Roku Premiere model 4620x issue with the new update of your Eero router. We are happy to assist you.

Troubleshooting steps

  1. Power cycle the Roku device for 30 seconds
  2. Restart the router
  3. You can perform a Network Connection Reset on your Roku device by going to Settings > Advanced system settings > Network connection reset > Reset connection. 
    • Note: Before doing make sure you know your WiFi credentials. 
  4. After the network reset, your Roku device will restart, and you will need to return to the Settings menu to set up your wireless network again.

If the issue persists, you can connect your streaming device to a mobile hotspot as a temporary workaround to ensure it is not experiencing a problem.

If the issue is resolved by connecting your Roku device to your mobile hotspot, please contact your internet provider and mention that your Roku device is connected to a mobile hotspot.

Suppose the previous steps did not fix your internet connection issue, and you are comfortable working with networking equipment. In that case, you can visit the article with advanced troubleshooting tips and networking features.

Thanks,
Arjiemar

Never found a solution, so changed providers.  Helix by Videotron works great.

Try adding it to the guest network. That works fine for me. It's a bit of a pain as my phone is on the normal network so you can't use some features but otherwise it works fine for me like this.

I suspect Roku is using a port for coms with the service which is firewall blocked by the eero but without knowing what ports it uses there is no way to configure it open.

John this is not a new problem. I have this issue with my roku express and my roku soundbar. I believe it's a general issue for Roku devices on an eero network. 

Simply put, the Roku will not be able to access services vis the eero managed network. I suspect there is a firewall block that is causing this. If you set-up a guest network for the eero (i.e. its operating in the DMZ) it appears to work fine.

Roku needs to find out what the eero is doing to prevent it from working when behind the firewall.

No errors on the device itsef.

Eero app shows connected as well.

Between laptops, iphone, ipads, nest camera, nest thermostat, blink camera, smart garage door, smart fridge, smart dishawasher. The only device having issue is the Roku TV. Thus ISP won’t be able to help.
