How Do I Make a 'Roku TV' Extend Wifi Range?

How can I make a 'Roku TV' extend its wifi range to my router?

Could buying a roku dongle extend the wifi range on a Roku TV? Or is that overkill since the Roku TV already has the dongle albeit built in?

    Hi jeff9870,

    Greetings from the Roku Community!

    Please be aware that Roku TV does not support any HDMI that has a WiFi extender. The signal strength when using a wireless network will always depend on the distance between your router and your Roku TV, unless you're using a WiFi extender on your router.

    As a workaround, you can use an Ethernet cable to connect directly to your Roku TV to ensure the efficiency of the signal strength. You can refer to this article for further information: How to use USB to connect your Roku streaming device to a wired network.

    We hope this helps you out!

    Thanks,

    Rey
