Solutions to Resolve Roku Won’t Connect to WiFi

Method 1: Check the Internet Connection

The first thing that you need to do is to check the internet connection. For this, choose the Network under the settings on your Roku device. Tap on the “Check connection” option displayed on the screen. It will analyze the internet speed and strength. If the internet signal strength is weak, you will see the instructions on the screen to fix the issue. 

Method 2: Use the Correct SSID and Password

The network ID or SSID and the password for your wireless network should be correct. Some small mistakes while entering the SSID and password leads to major issues. Your device will scan all the available wireless networks in your area automatically. It helps you in finding your wireless network. Take some extra care while entering the password, as it is case-sensitive. 

Method 3: Relocate the Roku Closer to Router 

When you see that the wireless signal strength is weak, then try to place your Roku and router closer to each other. Any physical obstructions between Roku and the router can decrease the network strength. So, remove the objects creating the physical obstruction. Placing the router and Roku nearer to each other will strengthen the internet connectivity and signal strength.

Method 4: Reboot your Roku Device 

Reboot is the same as power cycling, helps delete unwanted data, and provides Roku with a fresh speed boost. If your Roku keeps restarting without any reason, there might be some other problems with your device. To restart Roku, select the system from the settings menu and then choose the System restart option. It helps in improving the Roku performance and offers better functionality. 

Method 5: Reset Network Equipment 

Resetting the network equipment such as Roku and router is the best idea. You have to unplug the Roku and wireless router. After waiting for 30 seconds, replug your device. This method is known as a soft reset. The reset of the device deletes the current internet settings. So, it is important to create a backup before resetting your device. 

Method 6: Connect Ethernet Cable to Roku

The Ethernet cables are mainly used to connect the router with your device. It is not available for the Roku Stick but is suitable for Roku TV. Once you connect the cable between the router and your device, click on the Network option under the settings.
