Should I connect Roku to 2.4 or 5GHz?
Roku has been known to have difficulty receiving a WiFi signal. If the Roku is in the same room as the router, use the 5GHz network (denoted with “_5” ie. YourNetworkName_5). If it is not in the same room, use the standard 2.4GHz WiFi network.
What is the difference between all the different Rokus?

Re: Roku Streaming Stick – Will connect to 2.4 but not 5ghz I had to return two less expensive models, the SE and Express+ because they would not recognize the 5G band.
What frequency does Roku use?
Currently, only Roku Ultra, Stick, and Stick + can connect to the 5GHz Wi-Fi. Furthermore, older Roku models that support dual-band such as Premiere 4620, 4630, and Premiere-Plus can also pick up the 5GHz. In addition, Roku TV can also support the 5Ghz connection.

Roku says it’s 30 percent faster with a longer-range wireless receiver. I’ve never found a Roku device to be slow, but this one reacts without delay. The most obvious difference is the new voice remote. Others have a mic button you can press and hold for speech, but this has a hands-free option.

If you must use wireless, use 5 GHz wireless if possible. I’m doing so now, using a TP-Link router positioned about 10 feet from the device, with excellent results. Keep in mind that 5 GHz wi-fi won’t travel as far — and is more easily impeded by walls — than 2.4 GHz wi-fi.
