@TonyMaiello, if you have Comcast/Xfinity or Cox as your ISP ensure your wireless mode is set to b/g/n and not g/n.  For Comcast/Xfinity:

my devices will connect to my wifi.

For the past 4 days neither of my devices will connect to my wifi. It sees the wifi, shows the strength as "excellent" but won't connect. I've disconnected them, restarted them, restarted my modem and nothing. I bought 5 rokus for Christmas presents and will be returning them tomorrow.

Re: my devices will connect to my wifi.

Hey @ladesmond

We're sorry to hear about the issue you're experiencing.

If you are getting an error code or message, refer to this link for common Roku error codes and their recommended actions: How to connect your Roku device to the internet using Wi-Fi or Ethernet

Furthermore, if the affected devices are Roku Express or Roku Premiere, please note that they are only compatible with wireless b/g/n networks on the 2.4 GHz spectrum. Ensure that your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network for the device to connect to. You can check your device model by navigating to Settings > System > About.

You can also try configuring your router and use wireless channels 1, 6, or 11 which are the preferred channels in North America. Each time you change the wireless channel, you will likely need to apply/save changes before you are prompted to restart the router.

Please keep us posted!


All the best,
Kariza
