Can't get it to work

I purchased my roku about a month ago. I have used it maybe 5 times and now I cannot get it to work. I am thinking it is the remote that doesn't work, but I'm not for sure. The roku menu shows up on my tv, but goes nowhere from there. I have put new batteries in the remote and still does nothing.
Just moved in with a friend that doesn't have DVR, On Demand, Premium movie channels, etc. And I don't have a gaming console so I couldn't do Netflix either. Roku made that all possible! Love it
I recently bought the streaming stick. Have it all set up in my bedroom. Realized it HAS to be plugged in with the optional cable it came with. Takes a long time to buffer. We have 3 other roku boxes in the house, none of which have this issue.
I bought my roku stick 6 months ago. It was great at first but now it won't pick up a strng wifi connection even within feet of the wireless router.
The remote control never seems to sync up and I have to use my roku phone app. But if the stick isn't connecting to the Wi-Fi that app doesn't work either
I bought this as an alternative to Apple TV. It's terrible. It starts to stream and within 2 minutes you can't get anything to play. Very disappointed. Waste of money
This is my third Roku Streaming Stick. I have two at home where I don't have a cable receiver. I bought this one to take with me on the road. Fantastic.
I brought it about 2 months ago and I love it I was a little fooled in the beginning I thought if I had the roku then I wouldn't need actual cable....but I found out that you do,
I bought my Roku stick because everyone was raving how good it was. Unfortunately you have to subscribe to many of the services and it adds up. You're better off paying for cable. The structure and sturdiness is also suspect. The HDMI connect is very shaky and can break very raspier if you're using the stick with multiple TVs.
