Last Sunday I had a person install 2 Rokus. Since that time, I have had considerable trouble with my computers not hooking up to the internet. This is becoming a real problem.
Here is the way my system looks on my "internet access" in this order:
Netgear
Direct-Roku-560
Direct-Roku-672
Is this the proper way to do this? Am I getting some kind of conflict. How does Roku hook up direct?
Anybody got ideas or solutions?

Possibly, but Juan installed UnblockUS (I think is the name) for us, and it works fine. I would assume he installed the same one for Glen, but maybe not.
To get U.S. Netflix and Hulu you need a VPN so you can get a U.S. IP address. I don't have Roku, but when I installed my VPN (Boxpn), it wouldn't stay connected. I contacted them and they gave me a way to get a higher level of encryption, and that worked. Perhaps your VPN just needed some tweaking. If you don't want U.S. only sites, you don't need a VPN for Roku, as I understand.
Was not in the same room with Juan most of the time. I also did not set up my router so I know nothing.
If you paid Juan to install it, that payment should cover his return to get it right. He has returned to "fine tune" stuff for us at no charge.
We recently installed a Roku and don't have an Internet problem. Juan Arauz did our installation.
He installed my Roku.
Johnny, the router is direct wired to Cable Onda. Rokus are wired direct to TV's. They receive their signal from Router, I guess. I am confused by the way the Rokus show up in my "wireless network connection" list.
You may be correct about the Router. But the problems started at the same day and time of Roku installation. Router is 1 year old but---. Are the Rokus supposed to show up as shown in my first discussion above? That is the way they are shown in my network connections.
