Re: Wifi connection is not working nor is it uploading

If your phone hotspot can be reconfigured, try setting it to broadcast in the 2.4 GHz wifi band.

You didn't mention what Roku model and model number you have.  Settings > System > About will tell you

Roku Express/Express+ (not the relatively new Express 4K/4K+ models 3940/3941) and Premiere/Premiere+ (model numbers above 4620) are lower end units with single band Wi-Fi radios that only support the 2.4 GHz band. They, and many other devices of all sorts that are 2.4 GHz only, can't even see the 5 GHz band, let alone connect to it.
