Connect Roku to WiFi is a portable media streaming device that lets you stream your favorite TV shows and movies over the wifi. The Roku device streams your favorite TV channels or online networks of the same on the GO.
Many people prefer this over the pain-sticking cabled connection or Dish antenna setups. Roku device directly fits in your Television via port and after an easy setup process, you are good to go. In order to enjoy the services to their fullest, you must have a good internet connection with speeds high enough to stream the video services. Roku devices are pretty easy to use, but being a machine makes it vulnerable to occasional glitches.
One such glitch or issue we have received quite a lot of time is with connectivity. The said Roku device fails to connect to the internet due to some internal software conflict in the router or maybe the Roku device as well.
Roku device’s connectivity issue can be a dual-side issue, i.e the issue may be with the router device you are using or your Roku device is not updated. I will discuss a few troubleshooting techniques here, kindly go through them carefully:
If your router is working fine and your direct roku password is connected to it but still has no internet connection then chances are there may be an issue with your router’s connectivity. Go to your router’s settings and make sure everything is running fine.
Power-cycle your whole setup i.e switch off your TV, router, and Roku device for a few minutes and then switch it ON back. Now check the connectivity if it has been resolved or not.
Drivers are software programs embedded into your router to control different aspects of it. These drivers are vulnerable to getting corrupt or outdated. So, in case you feel the router needs an update, head over to your router’s official website.
Search your device via model number and once you find it, go to its subsequent download section. Download all available latest drivers for your router and install them one by one. Now try connecting the Roku device again.
Generally, when you buy a new Roku device it comes with the latest updated software, but chances are the parent company might have released a new update in recent times in the form of a firmware update.
So head over to your Roku Account and make sure you have the latest software on the device. In case you find any software update, download it and then install it on your device.
If any of the above-mentioned techniques did not help you resolve the problem, then try resetting your router device first and then your Roku device. Press the Reset button at the back of your router device for 20-30 seconds.
This will wipe out any internal software settings conflict which might have occurred. Also, reset your Roku device once start the setup process from scratch.
If the issue with your Roku is still not resolved, chances are you might have received a faulty device. Also, contact your ISP and see if they can do anything regarding the issue. As the issue in connectivity could arise if the ISP side has some maintenance work going on in your area. Also, double-check whether the SSID and Password you are entering are correct.
