Replacement for Roku power cable with extended Wi-Fi receiver model WR001

I need to replace my Roku power cable with extended Wi-Fi receiver model WR001 which has a mini USB connector on it. I see where there's a model WR002 I can purchase but I cannot tell if it has a mini USB connector (looks like it might be a micro connector). Will a WR002 work as a replacement for a WR001? Thanks very much for your help!

Sorry, the WR002 is not a replacement for the WR001 and the WR001 is no longer made.  You're pretty much out of luck unless you can find one on ebay or something like that.

Hey, @GwenH.

Thanks for reaching out!

We understand that you need a replacement for the wireless receiver for your Roku Streaming Stick, and we're here to help.

Please note that we are no longer selling or planning to restock the WR001, and the WR002 is incompatible with the Roku Streaming Stick models 3810/3811. For further assistance, please keep an eye on your inbox, as we will send you a private message. 

We are looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Best,

If you need to replace your Roku power cable with the extended Wi-Fi receiver model WR001, it's essential to check compatibility. When I find the fee structure dem the Wi-fi. The WR001 uses a mini USB connector, while the WR002 seems to have a micro USB connector, which may not work as a direct replacement unless an adapter is used.

For the best results, look for a WR001-compatible power cable, or consider using a mini USB to micro USB adapter if opting for the WR002.

@iu360, I'm not sure if you're a bot or not, but a mini USB to micro USB adapter will not work.
