I noticed that Roku seems to have added dual band wifi to these where previously it was only the Roku 3 that had it. For a person in a crowded radio wave space like me this makes it much more usable. YMMV. Decent price too.

Note that this one is the *new* roku2 that does not have Ethernet.

There's a chart comparing features. The few times I shopped around in the last couple years the Roku 2 never had an ethernet port, that graph shows one of them did. This one does not, hence the Roku 3 in my living room.

This will make a fine addition to my bedroom tv. My current old original Roku barely works on the 2.4 GHz band, the new dual band feature will save the day for me.

Too bad the Roku doesn't let you stream anything like Apple TV does, you are limited by apps.

Plex does a fair job of this, assuming I understand you correctly.
