Re: Which ROKU remotes or combos receive 5G transmissions?

According to an article on Alphr.com by William Stanton:

Currently, only Roku Ultra, Stick, and Stick + can connect to the 5GHz Wi-Fi. Furthermore, older Roku models that support dual-band such as Premiere 4620, 4630, and Premiere-Plus can also pick up the 5GHz. In addition, Roku TV can also support the 5Ghz connection.

I’m into videotapes and old electronics stuff, including extenders, converters and analog 4:3 TV sets (which are obsolete these days), and Miss Bianca is my favorite character in Disney’s The Rescuers (1977) and its sequel, The Rescuers Down Under (1990). I am not a Roku employee, only a user like you. ~ Jordan

Re: Which ROKU remotes or combos receive 5G transmissions?

@jjvaltz, if you're referring to the 5G cell phone network then the answer is none.  All of the current models except for the least expensive Express model support 5GHz Wi-Fi.

Roku Voice Remotes use Wi-Fi direct and communicate directly with Roku devices on whatever Wi-Fi channel the device is currently using.
