This is my sixth Roku device, and by far the hardest to setup. On the initial start up, after the "dancing" Roku letters, it would simply stop - black screen - at which point the TV would shift to cable input instead of the HDMI input that the Roku was plugged into. It did this repeatedly. Then I found that by rapidly pressing the home button on the remote during the initial screen, it would finally go into its setup routine. Then, while I got it hooked to the main router, it would not find the signal from the wifi extender. I then restarted the extender, and finally got the Roku to recognize it. Once it got hooked to the extender, it is in fact very fast at streaming. Much much better than the standard Roku stick that I was using before. So five stars for its performance, but downgraded a star for the setup difficulties.

I had a Roku streaming stick that was less than 2 years old and it quickly connected to my wireless router but would not connect to the internet for a full week. During that time I visited the roku website & read numerous articles about what could be wrong. After resetting the roku, resetting the router, moving the stick to a different HDMI slot, changing batteries, moving my cordless phone, etc. nothing helped. I then contacted Roku support twice and opened a support ticket but never received a reply even after 3 days. I finally rolled the dice & bought a new Roku streaming stick which solved the problem. However the original streaming stick should have lasted longer (not even 2 years) and roku support was completely inadequate. I just hope the new one lasts longer than the old one did.

I bought this yesterday and it was SUPER EASY to install. We have 2 other Roku devices on our TVs. Our first was the standard Roku we bought years ago and it is still working. The second was a stick which we bought about 5 years ago. This one was by far the easiest to install and appears to be the most powerful. LOVE ROKU!

bought this a few months ago. I had no problem until feb/march. My remote won't respond most of the time now. Frustrating. Piece of garbage. Save your money. Try the fire stick? went on website and they tried to charge me to talk! Its been over 30 days since purchase. You are out of luck. WARNING!

We have had a Roku Streaming Stick (old purple model) for 3 years. The only wi-fi available to us is through our cable company and is UNBELIEVABLY slooooow. Not only do we no longer have ANY “buffering” issues, but the picture is amazingly crisp, clear, and not lagging (too bad we didn't have it at the BEGINNING of football season. We always rented our movies in SD because it was cheaper & we couldn't tell the difference—not any more! Oh ... and the remote control works immediately and consistently on both the TV & the Roku! LOVE IT!

It is a lot faster than my old Roku and still has the bes remote in the world

For 2 weeks I've been trying to activate the Streaming Stick+ unsuccessfully

REALLY EASY TO SET UP! Ruko makes great streamer.

happy ---have purchased 4 more and plan to purchase another 2.

We had issues with the old Roku buffering and dropping shows. The issue is gone now.
