Roku wifi won’t connect after is off for awhile

WiFi connects but only after doing a network reset each time.

  • EC9The most common problem with connectivity is channel congestion. I'd recommend you install WiFi Analyzer for Android or if iPhone something similar from the App Store. Once installed you'll see how many others are using the same channel; then log into the router and change to one with less congestion. I'll assume you're using the 5 gHz band and if so, the lower channels have the biggest overlap but also the best range..channels 147-161 are narrower but could work as well. Regardless, I hope that resolves the problem

    If your Roku has a "Settings > System > Power > Auto power savings > After 20 minutes of no interaction" setting, try disabling it.

    Thanks for the suggestion.  I probably didn't explain well enough my issue. This all started right after the "Crowdstrike" issue.  Maybe it was a coincidence, but my Tv never had issues automatically connecting. Even times it may have disconnected from my wifi, I could my network and it would auto join, I didn't need to give my wifi password again.  Now it won't find my wifi until i reset my network connection.  I appreciate your time in trying to help!

    • Same thing is happening to me. I turn on the TV--"no connection". If i just try looking for a connection, it won't find it. I actually have to reset each time. 

      I have tried everything suggested in every forum. My WiFi signal strength is excellent. But every time I shut off the TV, I have to reset the connection...THEN I have to find the wifi...then type in my password. Every. Single. Time. It's not my internet. It's this TV. Only 2 years old. It sucks. I cannot afford another TV as this one isn't that old (Roku says their tvs last 5-7 years--if that's the case, I should  still have 3 or more years).
