• Yes, a router is needed to transmit the wifi signal to the Roku device. Don't forget that Roku requires high speed internet. If you have high speed internet then you may want to purchase a good router that will allow for the highest data transfer like a Netgear N600 or Netgear N450. Anything less makes no sense with high speed internet since it slows down the data transfer rate which reduces the speed of your wifi connection. Hope this helps.

• You must have access to wi-fi to use this device. You will need a modem or router from your cable company (or other ISP) with wireless capability.

• Yes, this unit uses a wireless signal from your router to send the signal to your TV. I have an old Netgear router and Router Extender. You must also sent up a pass word in your router. You must also have a HDMI Port on your TV

• A router is required because ROKU receives programming wirelessly from the Internet. Your TV must have an HDMI input connection, or there has to be some other way to connect to the TV from an HDMI connection, such as through an A/V or surround sound receiver.
