      Hello, We offer a variety of streaming devices designed to meet the needs of our customers - the Roku Express is a streaming player that connects only to 2.4 GHz wireless bands only, which is a great solution for many customers.

      There are other Roku streaming players that can connect to 5 GHz bands when the environment requires it including the Roku Streaming Stick+, for those who want a portable form factor with a long-range wireless receiver, and Roku Ultra which even offers an ethernet port. There is also a helpful comparison chart located on our website where you can find the best player to meet your needs at https://www.roku.com/products/compare.

      Hope this helps!

      As a tip, you can check the strength of your internet connection by going to Settings > Network > Check connection. This will test the quality of the signal and also measure the speed of that connection, to be sure that your signal is strong enough.

      If you still have the device and are continuing to have troubles, please reference our helpful FAQ article: http://go.roku.com/connectivity

      This page will provide you with common concerns, troubleshooting, error codes, and recommended actions. We hope this helps!

    Good price, loads of streaming options, fast, and easy to use. For my needs Roku was perfect and the remote doesn’t need to point at the tv to work which comes in handy when I’m feeling lazy.
