Features, settings & updates

My StreamBar has a blinking yellow light I am using the Voice Pro Remote. I am still able to connect to the internet and watch anything on a channel. So dose anyone know what this might mean?

Blinking lights on Roku devices often means it thinks it doesn't have an Internet connection even though often you can still stream.  Try checking the connection under Settings->Network.

If that's not it, maybe someone else has an idea.

Thank you and maybe you don't know but should somehow like that be fixed with a update patch?

Doubtful.  In my experience Roku updates are far more likely to break something than to fix something.

I’ve done a system restart which resolved the problem. I have Verizon 1-T router. I believe they throttle. Any way it fixes the problem until the next time. My system software is current and my router is running.

I have this issue almost daily.  I’ll get a flashing yellow light.  I’ll hit the reset on the back of the Streambar.  The green light will come back and works fine. By the next day, I’ll have to repeat all over again as the flashing yellow light comes back on again.  I’m hoping that anyone has a fix that will hold more than one day.  Is my Streambar defective!  Thanks for any help.

Hi @pcmotorhed,

Thanks for the post.

The yellow blinking light on the Roku Streambar is an indication for searching a network connection. Have you tried restarting your router/modem? Additionally, are you having any issues on your network when the yellow light starts blinking?

Let us know more about this.

All the best,
Kash

I have the same issue on one of my two streambars.  I've tried all of the suggestions above with no change.  I have good streaming and my other streambar doesn't have the issue, so Internet connection doesn't seem to be the issue.

Any other suggestions?

With my issue,  it eventually stopped. I discovered that my smart Samsung tv was not connected to the internet and once this connection was made, it stopped blinking yellow and has worked pretty much since then. Rather or not it may be a coincidence or the folks at Roku sent an update to fix it.   ??
