    Pros: Looks nice.
    I wish this could have worked for me.

    Cons: 1. Cannot connect to a wireless requiring a password in a web browser.
    2. Placing your credit card on file to create an account although you can *delete the credit card after the account is created.

    according to their support page.

    Summary: ROKU 2500X
    This cannot be used when a wireless password is required through a browser.
    I purchased this to be used mostly when I travel. Since hotels do not accept a password until you've connected to the wireless network and opened a browser window the current roku interface could never work. Roku allows you to enter a password when connecting to a wireless network which works great for home. I found too late that their support page mentions cloning your computer address to your wireless router. I have not tried this since I don't intend to start traveling with the roku, the router and whatever else this leads into. I'll have to stick with connecting my laptop to the hotel tv for now.

    I was able to connect to my home wireless so I've seen how it can connect.
