turn off bluetooth on Roku Ultra 2024

Is it possible to temporarily disable Bluetooth on the 2024 Ultra, & use it only when I want to pair it with a device? The Roku Ultra Bluetooth feature is causing interference between my router & a device that I'm not able to relocate within my house.

    Hey, MacNerd79c.

    Thanks for chiming in!

    It sounds like the Roku Ultra is interfering with other devices, even when you haven’t asked it to. To fix that, you can either disconnect your Bluetooth device manually whenever it happens or turn off the Bluetooth auto-play feature completely.

    Here's how:

    1. If it is not already open, launch the Bluetooth app on the Roku device.
    2. Press the Star 
       
      on your Roku remote to access playback options.
    3. Scroll to highlight Bluetooth auto-play.
    4. Switch the setting to Off (or On).

      Thanks for the quick reply.

      I like the Bluetooth feature on the Ultra. So, if I'm watching TV late at nite, I can pair my Bluetooth headphones & crank up the volume.

      By "Bluetooth device" do you mean my Bluetooth headphones?
