No, if you want to stream media you will need internet service. Roku devices stream media over the internet.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, the Roku has to have an Internet connection. A router by itself cannot provide that. You need to get internet via another company.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Some thing has to feed your Roku stick internet. So no, I'm sorry. A router just accepts and distributes an internet connection. It does not supply it. "The Roku Streaming Stick takes all the capabilities of the current Roku box, the smallest of which is 3.5 by 3.5 by 1 inches (8.9 by 8.9 by 2.5 centimeters), and crams them into a tiny thumb drive-sized form. There are two versions: the original MHL version (now called the Roku Ready version) measuring 2.7 by 1 by 0.4 inches (6.9 by 2.5 by 1 centimers), and the new HDMI version measuring 3.1 by 1.1 by 0.5 inches (7.9 by 2.8 by 1.3 centimeters). Both plug directly into a television port and allow you to stream shows, movies, music and more, all via your home WiFi network, without taking up the living room real estate required by current set-top boxes." https://electronics.howstuffworks.com/gadgets/other-gadgets/roku-streaming-stick2.htm You could possibly use a cell phone hotspot. But not a great alternative to an inhouse internet connection.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You need internet access so that the Roku device can get data from the internet. A router allows someone with internet access to split the access between wired and wireless connections. There's nothing magic about a Roku stick. It needs internet access to display content.
I would recommend:
