I don't think you can use it without wifi, since the only wireless connection of this device would be the built-in wifi module. Maybe you can buy a mobile hot-spot from one of the mobile carriers so your ROKU can share its data connection thru wifi

Totally forgot it had that capability Sonya..I also need to connect my Roku to my TV and figure out the wifi situation. Let me try working on that soon. I'll post a review as soon as I can. If you do yours first let me know. :) Thanks! Good luck! -Frank

Use the learning mode programming feature of the URC A6, and you can program it for anything. I have had success with controlling Roku players using the original remote to learn the functions.

The device itself has a UPnP DLNA Media Server. If the ROKU has a client for that then you're good to go.

If you have wifi in your home, the roku 3 works with that. I use the FlatWave antenna, Roku3 (with wifi) on my TV.

We have two Rokus, could that be Roki? Anyway, we have one at our mountain home and one at out city apartment, we switch them out on our total of 3 TV's, so the answer is, convince! You can move them all over and they work where ever you use them. If you don't want to move them and possibly put in a new wifi code get as many as you can afford, if you don't mind moving them about you could have one or two and be happy. I think Roku is great and have had my first one for over 2 years.

yes, roku doesn't use your computer to function, just the wifi whether from your pc or modem. I use the Roku even with the computer off.

Thanks for your help. I have written to Roku about this as you suggested. I moved the box to no avail. Still can't pick up the Airport WiFi. We'll keep trying.

I tried this with Roku 3 to connect to a VGA projector. It keeps getting interrupted with digital rights management warnings.:(

The only cable you need to run is to your tv from the Roku. It connects to your router wirelessly using built in wi-fi.

I will be looking to solve the same problem in about 6 months, and so have considered the alternatives. The GL-iNet might work, but its range might be limited because it has no external antenna. I am more inclined to try the TP-LINK TL-WR940N or WR841ND. I am comfortable working with the open source router software, openWrt, and would set the router up to link to the campground AP and then provide a local AP for my wireless devices as well as a connection for a set-top box of some sort (Roku or Chromecast or other).

Yes. I have the Roku mounted on the back of the TV and the remote (and iPhone app) both work from where I'm sitting in front of the TV.

None. The all Rokus connect to your television and your home network. No computer required.

No you can't I highly suggest a roku box over this one... this one has the few apps listed and hasn't updated in the year or so I have had it

From my understanding you can hook up a Roku directly. I have Apple TV so not sure about the iPad.

I connected this product to the Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 and have no problem streaming HD movies via Roku. However, as you probably know, your ability to stream video smoothly is not just a matter of signal strength but also your download speed which has to do mostly with your internet provider. The key is that you have to place this unit where you get at least a 70 percent signal strength from your Netgear router. This product will then amplify and extend your Wi-Fi signal range. You can also download the Android app (assuming you have an Android device) from Amped Wireless site and measure the signal strength you with your Netgear router and Amped Wireless range extender.

Yes you can. It only works with an IPad or IPhone. I do this from hotels while traveling. I enjoy the product but some times you will lose the signal if the WiFi is weak. Normally you can select try again to reconnect or complete a setup to start streaming again -this is done on your IPad. I think you will be happy with the TiVo Stream. I enjoy mine!
