Re: Roku express won’t stop rebooting in a loop.

Jump to solution

@rbmcwhirter, the reset button will just do a "System restart" if you hold it briefly or a factory reset if you hold it for like 30 seconds.  When you tried it, were you back at the "Let's get started" screen.  If not, try it again or perform a "Factory reset" from Settings->System->Advanced system settings.

Re: my roku express keeps rebooting!!

I bought a brand new Ultra LT and it’s stuck in an endless reboot cycle. Seems extremely flaky. It reboots while I’m entering the wifi password, while it’s checking the network, while it’s downloading. I’ve read dozens of these posts and tried numerous suggestions. Different wifi routers, restarting my routers, resting my new Roku.

Per all these posts, Appears to me Roku’s quality has fallen through the floor.

Guess I’ll be getting my money back from Walmart tomorrow and looking for alternative streaming device.

Our Roku just keeps returning to the home screen.  We have tried unplugging, the reset button.  We have not had it long.  Any suggestions?

Thanks for keeping us in the loop, @Btownsouth!

May we know how are your Roku Express powered? Directly to your TV's USB port or directly to your power outlet? 

If you connect directly to your TV, you may need to use the recommended power adaptor and connect it directly to your power outlet to see if it improves your experience. 

Looking forward to your response. 

Best,
Emman
