I have a Roku HD and it uses 5.8 for the remote, not 2.4. I don't believe the roku can connect to 5.8 for an internet connection. I could be wrong, my wife lets me know at least once a day ;) !

We give away rokus to our new setups, but not the roku3. On another note, I bought an amazon fire tv for the house to see how well it would stream, and I wonder if it's remote is wifi... never checked.

The Roku 3 uses it's own dedicated wifi network to communicate with the remote control. If the roku is connected to the customer's wifi router to get online, the remote wifi will always use the same channel and cause interference with other wifi devices. We just had an install today where the router was hearing the interfering SSID from the roku at a -22. And as you might expect the wifi performance was garbage. Just one more thing to look out for and cause support headaches. The workaround is to plug in the roku via ethernet, which will make it use the 5ghz band to talk to remote - of course that might interfere with your 5ghz CPE now. Are IR remotes really all that bad? _______________________________________________ Wireless mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
