activation code not showing up

Hi,

im trying to activate my roku premiere but I ran into an activation error and the code is not showing for some reason. I had the option to get a new code but clicking on that option wouldn’t generate a response. I already tried restarting the device, connecting a hotspot, connecting to a different router; all of these failed. Anything I can do?

Don't just restart, you need to do factory reset to have new link code sent. With the roku powered on, there's  pinhole on the back stick something in and hold for at least 30 seconds.

I already did a factory reset and that hasn’t solved the issue unfortunately

Thanks for the inquiry.

We recommend rebooting both your wireless router and your Roku device.

I'd also recommend trying to connect your device to an alternate network, such as a mobile hotspot, to see if you can activate and setup your device. Then once your device has been setup, try switching back to your home wireless network.

Please keep us posted.


Thanks,
Danny

Re: Activation

I have spent three days on this activation and I have tried multiple fixes.  I can’t get an activation code.   Tried different emails, factory reset, reset router, and backed out and re-entered multiple times.  I have no idea how to move forward.
