I bought this and have not had too much success with it connecting to the Internet. It took almost an hour to set up because it kept losing connection. There is only a small living room separating the Roku stick and my wifi. I have 4 roku 3's and haven't had any problem with setup or connection on those. When it does work, it has great app choices just like the other Rokus.
Thought it was the batteries that came in the product. Switched to brand new batteries and still fails to recognize most of the time. On the rare occasion I can get it to work it works fine. But if the remote doesn't work most of the time kind of defeats the purpose of the product.
I bought this about a month ago and it has started lagging. I use it to watch Netflix only, usually a couple hours a night, and the past few days it has become troublesome to try to watch. My sister recently bought a Roku stick, and two weeks in she is also having trouble with lagging. Otherwise love the product, very cheap solution for just watching Netflix.
I have owned my streaming stick for about 10 months and am very pleased with the variety of shows, both television and movies, music channels, news channels from major and small cities. Quality of the shows are a bit ify on some of the private channels but most are free or modestly priced. If you use your computer while watching make sure you have a dual band router.
