Roku shut down the server that updates devices. Any device that is factory reset after July 1 2024 must be discarded and replaced. This was Roku's idea to make consumers replace all their devices that are more than six months old. The device does indeed connect to the internet, but it is bricked, and has no way to update. Thanks for everything Roku. I'm done with them. They bricked two of my tvs, and three Roku express devices, all less than a year old.
