Hi @Judithstuede

Thanks for the post!

I'd be delighted to look closely to see how we may assist you in getting started. Do you receive an error message when attempting to connect to your wireless network or when streaming a specific channel?

For troubleshooting purposes, have you tried re-connecting your Roku to a solid wireless network to see if that helps resolve the issue you are seeing? You may also try to connect to an alternate wireless network, such as another mobile phone signal typically provided and maintained by specific mobile phone (cellular) service providers, to see if you are experiencing the same issue.

With detailed information, we will be better able to assist you.


Warm Regards,
Lianna

@Judithstuede 

Regarding this portable hotspot device.  Is this the normal/only way you have connected to your Roku devices?  Do you not have an internet connection with a router/modem?

If the hotspot device is your usual method of connecting the Roku devices to the internet, post back with the model number of the hotspot device.  Since they are connecting to the device but not the internet, if may just be a IPv4 setting. (Of course, verify that you still have data allowance remaining on your hotspot plan).
