I recently entered the world of Roku and bought myself a Streaming stick+ (UK). I was excited to begin using it until I found that when trying to connect to my WiFi the stick wasn’t seeing my 5Ghz network. It saw my 2.4Ghz fine, and all my other devices saw the 5Ghz network and connected without issue so initially thought the unit was faulty. First, it’s 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, not 2.4g and 5g. The difference will become more important when the 5g phones roll out over the next year or two. Next, not all Roku devices support 5 GHz WiFi. You didn’t say what device you had, but if it’s a current model, only the Ultra, Stick+, and Stick support 5 GHz band. Might that be the reason? The primary benefit of using 5GHz is that under ideal conditions, your Wi-Fi will support up to 1300 Mbps, whereas 2.4 GHz WiFi supports only a very fast 450 Mbps or 600 Mbps. For most people doing most things online, 2.4 GHz may be enough, but 5GHz is the future of WiFi. There is no definitive answer to this question. My TV's USB won't supply enough power for my Roku. Does a product exist that will sense the TV and turn on/off power to a USB that can power the Roku. I could either sense the TV via the 120V outlet current or via the low power USB port. I hate that my Roku stays on when not in use; especially in rooms that don't get used often.

I know 5G coverage is good there as my Chromecast is plugged into the HDMI port next to the Roku and it's on the 5G freq. Typically on my previous Asus router I could MAC filter the Roku from the 2.4G freq only so it would only see the 5G signal but I don't see that option in Orbi.

About the same with my Roku TV however the Roku TV on 5G if further from the router but it is almost a perfect line of sight transmission. So I use 5G whenever possible.

Thanks. I was asking about 5g WiFi and have several Roku Expresses. The Express models 2.4 GHz only. Roku Express boxes support a 'n' wifi which can be a 5 GHz network. However, they do not support an 'ac' wifi which the higher end Roku boxes (and sticks) support. Roku will grab the same wifi channel as the nearest wifi access point (e.g. yours) It will broadcast a Wifi Direct SSID DIRECT-roku-123-A2 on the same channel; It will increase its power to stay above your AP if you up the transit power; Most people don’t have the training or tools for wifi problem diagnosis, and probably weren’t even aware.

I need to know which current ROKU devices (Year 2020) are capable of using 5ghz wifi.

The Roku Streaming Stick+ uses 802.11ac (or Wi-Fi 5), which has a couple advantages: If you have an 802.11ac router, the Roku can connect to it on the 5GHz frequency band, which tends to be less. My Roku 4 box had no problems finding and connecting to my 2GHz wifi network. None of my other wireless devices that support 5GHz had any problems discovering and connecting to the same 5GHz network, in the same room, standing right next to the Roku 4 box. Neither signal strength nor interference were the problem.

Both the Roku 3 in my house did not show the 5ghz network in the wireless selection screen. I found elsewhere that it is likely a channel issue; I changed to channel 157 as recommended in a DD-WRT forum and that resolved my issue. Now both Roku (or Rokus depending on what you think the plural of Roku is) connect perfectly well to the 5ghz network.
