Poor wireless detection; Req's credit card
on May 3, 2016
Posted by: Brian
The stick that I purchased might have been defective, but it detected wireless signals maybe one out of every five resets, and once that got set up, it couldn't keep it reliably, whether to the home router about 5 feet away or to a phone hotspot 8 inches away.
Also, it can get hot enough that you don't want any of the metal parts(HDMI connector) to touch your skin more than a few seconds. Only noticed this because I moved it to another TV to try to successfully configure it.
The last little annoyance is that you are required to enter a credit card to create the Roku account to activate the stick. Not a deal breaker, but only purchased it to be able to stream Netflix to a non-Smart TV.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
