I’m having the same problem randomly since yesterday. I’ve watched endless YouTube videos and tried things from different Reddit post, still no luck. Anyone out there know what’s going on???

This is my second roku tv to do this, I've tried resetting everything multiple times and factory resetting the tv and nothing is working.

I factory reset the device and it updated, so now it's working as per normal

Same here. We have 3 Roku’s in our house, not one of them will connect and they were working fine. Tried all the suggested troubleshooting tips (reset to factory setting, unplugging etc.) nothing is working.

Re: Roku still not working, WiFi works but is not connected on Roku, can’t access anything
To all: the first thing you all need to provide is the model of Roku player, and if it's a Roku TV we need to know the manufacturer and TV model.
Some Roku players and TVs only support the 2.4 GHz WiFi band. Some ISPs (Internet Service Providers) are known to adjust the home router (if they provided the router/modem, they can control its settings) and either disable the 2.4 GHz radio or change a setting that is incompatible with some Roku devices.
So, here's what's needed to help assist you with networking issues:
- Roku model (not the name, the model number)
- how it connects to your network (wired or wireless)
- who is your ISP, and did they provide your router
- are you connecting to the wireless at all, and just not reaching the Internet, or is your network not even shown as a connection option
- Any error code that might be displayed
Note that it doesn't matter if other devices are connected to your network and working. All that proves is that your overall Internet access is OK, but doesn't confirm issues that might only impact a Roku connection. Your other devices could all be on 5 GHz WiFi, or they support a WiFi channel that the Roku does not (there are some such channels, but that is a discussion after we know more about your issue).

Thank you! Your reply prompted me to call the internet provider to see if they made any changes, and they had. Should’ve checked with them first. I appreciate the help!
