Can I force Wired connection to my Roku Express 4k+?

Hi everyone,

I am trying to connect my Roku to my ethernet in a dorms situation and cannot find the “Wired” option for network on my Roku Express 4k+. Is there anything I can do about this? I have an ethernet cord, adapter, and everything seems to be running correctly except the lack of option for a “Wired” network. Is there some sort of hidden feature I need to toggle on? I’ve already done both a network reset and a system reset and there is still only “Wireless” and no “Wired.”

 

Thanks!

    Welcome! Jabberjay17​ 

    Looks like you're not seeing the "Wired" option when connecting to your Dorm network. 

    This option will only appear if the adapter is properly connected and powered. If it’s missing, the adapter may not be recognized. Have you tried unplugging it, then plugging it back in, and seeing if that helps? 

    Let us know what you find!
