Connectivity Error 014.50 but Wifi is working fine

My Element Roku TV has suddenly stopped being able to connect to Wifi. Nothing has changed on my end. My other brand Roku tv is connected fine, the wifi is working fine on my phone and laptop as well.

In settings, it is detecting my network and says the strength is excellent. I’ve tried restarting my tv multiple times, I’ve gone into advanced settings and reset connections, I’ve tried multiple different wifi networks, I’ve put in the wifi password multiple times checking for spelling errors, I’ve checked for new system updates. 

My only guess is this is a system update issue as it says it was last updated since the last time I used my tv?

  • Hello! Daizeecdeon,

    Thank you for posting in the Roku Community!

    We have received reports that some users with Roku TV are experiencing difficulty connecting to their home network following a recent OS update.

    In the meantime, we recommend performing a factory resetHere's how:

    • Locate the reset button on your Roku device, usually on the back or bottom.
    • Ensure your Roku TV is powered on.
    • Press and hold the reset button for precisely 10 seconds.
    • Watch for a fast-blinking light, indicating that the reset is in progress.
    • Once the light blinks at an average rate, release the button.

    After a successful factory reset, your Roku device will restart in the same state as a factory-new device and will be ready for you to complete the following:

    1. Perform the Guided Setup and activation process
    2. Sign in to streaming channels that require a username and password
    3. Create a 4-digit PIN and configure parental control settings
    4. Perform a broadcast television channel scan (if you have a Roku TV with an HDTV antenna connected)

    Thanks,

  • Hello! SEChoi,

    Thanks for the update,

    If your Roku TV can connect to mobile data but not your Wi-Fi, we must check with your internet provider. There may be some router settings that are preventing your Roku from establishing a Wi-Fi connection. Additionally, recent updates to some routers—especially those provided by internet service providers—could be causing these issues. It's also possible that similar problems could occur with other internet providers or user-owned routers that have received updates.

    If the previous steps did not fix your internet connection issue and you are comfortable working with networking equipment, you can visit the article with advanced troubleshooting tips and networking features.

    Thanks,

  • Hello! Ken70,

    Thank you for posting in the Roku Community!

    We completely understand how crucial it is for your Roku device to stay connected to the internet. We're here to help you with any issues you may be facing, and we're here to assist. 

    If your router and Roku device support 5GHz, ensure the 5GHz option is enabled in your router's settings. Then, try connecting to the 5GHz wireless network (for example, MyNetwork_5GHz). If you have a mesh router system, note that the 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi networks may be combined into a single wireless network.

    When your router automatically selects a wireless channel, it can lead to intermittent or slow connectivity due to undetected interference from other wireless devices. Try turning off this automatic setting on your router and choose a wireless channel manually.

    Use the following steps to determine which wireless channel your streaming device is connected to.

    1. Press Home on your Roku remote
    2. Scroll and select Settings
    3. Select Network
    4. Select About
    5. Find the Wireless channel number

    If your Roku device is connected to the 5GHz wireless network (channels 36-165) and you have issues, try changing your router's 5GHz channel. If your router only works on 2.4GHz, use channels 1, 6, or 11, which are the best options in North America. Remember to save the changes after changing the wireless channel and restart your router.

    Thanks,

        I am having the same issue. Neither of my Roku Ultra devices are connecting to my wifi network, but every other device in my home connects. The signal is excellent. There has to be a common connection because this happened to both of my boxes.

      I have 3 roku devices and only one that won't connect.  Worked fine yesterday morning but hasn't worked since.  There is an extender 3 feet from it.  The other 2xare farther away and work fine.

        Hey Gcoffey,

        Error code 014.50 usually means your Roku can't connect to the internet. You can try these steps. 

        • Restart your Roku: Settings > System > Power > System restart.
        • Restart your modem and router. 
        • Set up Connection: Setting > Network > Set up Network

        If it's still not working, feel free to let us know.

        Thanks,

  • Turns out my router was fine but my modem was not connected. I want even looking at my modem. I had to call spectrum to get help figuring it out.

  • I found this thread because this just happened to me. Did it ever actually get fixed?

      Hey B123451 

      Thanks for contacting us!

      You mentioned that you're having the same issue with others. To understand better, please provide this information:

      • Have you gotten the same error message or code when trying to connect?
      • Have you made any recent changes to your network or internet service provider?
      • When did this issue first occur?

      In the meantime, Try connecting to a mobile hotspot and see if that fixes the problem.

        Same issue. Roku won't connect to any other network after working fine for a year. All other devices connect just fine.
