Re: Have internet but no playback

Welcome to the Roku Community, @Jm1968!

Thanks for posting your concern here. We'd be happy to suggest some steps to help you get back on streaming.

If this is happening to a specific app, try the following steps precisely:

  1. Remove the channel: navigate to your Home screen, move to the right, highlight the app, press Star*, then select Remove channel
  2. Perform a system reboot: navigate to your Home, select Settings > System > Power (skip if unavailable) > System restart
  3. Re-install the channel: navigate to your Home, scroll and select Store, look for the app, then press Add channel

Furthermore, you may also try these steps:

  • Reboot your modem/router: Unplug it for about 60 seconds then replug.
  • Ensure you have a strong network connection signal strength.
  • Try to connect your device to an alternative network connection to see if this makes any difference. Perhaps a mobile hotspot would do.

For reference, here are Roku's support articles that might help you regarding this case:

Please keep us posted on how it goes!

Warm regards,
Carly
