When I just turn it on, it’s not connecting to the internet. I keep having to unplug my Hisense and plugging it back in - then it connects without issue.
i have tried genuinely anything and everything you can look up. this tv still doesn’t work like it used to months after i posted this. no i’m not connected to anything like a hotspot i’m connected to my router. this tv is absolutely trash now. i’ll sit here watching a blank home screen try to load for 5 minutes just to use something that isn’t even related to roku because it DOESNT WORK!! i wish i could get a refund but the tv is around 3 yrs old now. not worth the money will not be buying a roku product again. @RokuTakashi
I host my own jellyfin server with many movies and complete seasons of shows. Moved into a new home, where there is currently no internet (bummer but temp until isp comes out to hook it up). My TV sees the router can connect to the router, but because there is no internet is disconnects from the network. Because of this I can't even watch shows over an in home network. Absolutely works fine as long as the router has internet. No I'm not going through the isp router, I can open jellyfin on mobile devices and PC's but the TV won't stay connected to the router.
My hisense Roku tv can't find wifi even after I factory reset everything. Help? Please!
There are some router setting issues that can prevent establishing Roku WiFi connections. And to make matters worse, some of them can be set by recently-reported router updates. These have primarily been reported with routers supplied by internet providers (Comcast/Xfinity, Cox, and AT&T so far), but it's possible they could also occur with other internet providers or user-owned routers that have received similar updates.
Reconfiguring Router
Thanks to forum user @AvsGunnar for providing the links below to instructions for reconfiguring router settings for the listed internet suppliers. If you can't do this yourself, you may need to contact your internet provider to make these changes for you:
If your problem was not caused by any of the above, a restart of the router (even if other devices are still connecting) followed by a restart of the Roku may allow the connection to be reestablished. Depending on your Roku model you'll find the "System restart" option under either "Settings > System > Power" or if you have no "Power" option, under "Settings > System", or if more convenient you can just pull the Roku's power for a few seconds and let it restart.
I had the same problem with my Hisense Roku tv. After an hour of doing everything (my connection was over 100mbps) I hooked up my Roku Stick, and provlem solved, my Roku apps work fine now. Screw the proprietary Hisense Roku interface. It's garbage.
Mine was working fine until recently and started doing the same thing - every time I turn it on, I have to either unplug and plug back in, or go to restart in the settings menu - then it automatically reconnects itself to the internet
