Roku - Error Code 014 - Cannot connect to LAN

When trying to connect to the wireless network I was getting Error Code 014 & a red cross on local network connection.

First make sure your wireless channel is not set to auto, change to number 1, 6 or 11 for example.
Then I also went into a hidden setting on the Roku box to disable pingback.

Press the following on your Roku remote

Press the Home button 5 times
Press the Fast Forward button 1 time
Press the Play button 1 time
Press the Rewind button 1 time
Press the Play button 1 time
Press the Fast Forward button 1 time

This will get you to a hidden settings screen from where you can disable pingback.

Once this is done my Roku box connected fine.

When launching any of the Office 2013 applications, the splash screen will be displayed, but the application will immediately crash.

This problem has been seen to be caused by certain versions of the third-party DisplayLink User Mode Driver (dlumd32.dll), specifically versions of the dlumd32.dll file lower than 8.7.x.

The HP Docking Station runs on the DisplayLink software.
