I´m sure the problem wasn´t the problem since a have a repeater in the same room with a download speed way over 12 Mbps.

Anyways , my problem is resolved i don´t known for sure how or why ,but its working again.

 

But one thing is clear these forced updates are a bad idea you risk bricking your own products and losing costumers

Attached are two photos with the information you requested. I also have a Roku Premiere running 14.1 and an Ultra running 14.1 and have so far only seen this issue with my Roku Express.

Hi, I resolved the problem with both my roku ultras. My solution was to connect each roku one by one directly to my modem via cable bypassing my network and all it's security. As soon as I did that a few resets and they came back to life. Kind of odd as I have had the same network and hardware for years and never had a issue with any device updating through my network before. I am a little suspicious and now cautious about the update and what it entails for device security now, so I won't be adding any credit card info directly for security.

Hopefully this may help someone who also has the same problem.
