Roku tv MAC address shows wifi hardware missing

Jump to solution

My onn roku tv will not try to scan for networks.  Under mac address it states that wifi hardware is missing. I have reset the tv, modem, router, everything.. Wifi is working with excellent signal. Other devices connect perfectly with no issue. I have cox internet. Im using 2.4ghz. I have tried to enter my network manually still does not work. I've tried to disable network pings on the secret menu and all. Reset wifi chip, nothing has worked..  Contacted roku support and they told me to contact tv manufacturer. Did that and all they told me was try to reset tv like I haven't done that already.  Then just said they'd follow up through email.. Im need help!

Hello Community Users!

We appreciate you for taking the time to share your post,

Thank you for bringing to our attention the issue you encountered with your MAC address wifi hardware missing. We're pleased to assist.

  • How long have you been having connection issues?
  • Does this happen on every channel/ different device features that need an internet connection?
  • Has this happened before?
  • Were you able to connect it back to the internet after it happened the first time?

Troubleshooting:

1. We need to check your System Info screen

Go to Home on your Roku device

  • Navigate to settings
  • Select Network
  • Select About

2. If the Wireless MAC Address displays all 0’s, then try performing a System restart.

  • Press Home on your Roku remote
  • Scroll and select Settings
  • Select System
  • Select Power. If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step.
  • Select System restart

3. Once the System restart is complete, check if the MAC address still displays all 0’s. If this is the case, then perform a Factory reset.

  • Press Home on your Roku remote
  • Scroll and select Settings
  • Select System
  • Select Advanced System settings
  • Select Factory reset everything

4. After performing a factory reset, check if the connection issue persists. If the Wireless MAC address remains displaying all 0’s, or if the connectivity issue persists, this can be identified as a hardware issue.

Please keep us posted on what you find out and we will be happy to continue assisting you further. We look forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks,
Arjiemar

Hi @Lizh5,

Thanks for your first post here in the Roku Community!

We appreciate you letting us know about this issue on your ONN Roku TV when connecting to the network.

Have you tried using an Ethernet cable or an alternative network, such as a mobile hotspot, to see if you're still seeing the same issue occur?

Let us know more about this so that we can continue working on it. Thanks!

Best regards,

Rey

I have tried to connect to mobile hotspot, it did not work either.  Ethernet cable is the only option I have not tried, as Im trying to find and dig out an extra cable from out of the closet.

Thanks for the follow-up, @Lizh5!

In this case, contacting the TV manufacturer's support team would be better.

It is important to note that Roku-partnered TVs are managed and produced by the Roku Operating System's TV manufacturer.

You can contact ONN TV support here.

If there's anything else that we can help you with, feel free to let the Community know about it.

Best regards,

Rey

Mine is doing the exact same thing. It has been this way for the past approx 3 months (I gave up and just used the smart feature on my tv). I had tried everything like you did and my WIFI has great signal and everything else works. I am about to try an Ethernet cable but I am not even sure if I have one. 

*scratch that I have a Roku streambar and I do not see a spot for an Ethernet cable.
