Re: Roku TCL tv keep losing connection

Jump to solution

Yes, I agree it is not a wifi or router issue. I thought they wanted all the information about our Roku device, router, ISP, etc to try to see where the problem is coming from, but I believe it can be fixed with a new software update because we all live in different cities with different ISP and routers, so there is no way possible it can be a wifi or router issue;

TCL/Roku TV loses network connection after sleeping

Jump to solution

I have two year old TCL 65S41 that recently started losing it's connection to the WiFi network every time it goes to sleep (either in power save mode or using the power button on the remote). No other devices have issues. When you wake up the TV "not connected" appears in the upper right corner and no apps/streaming channels work. To restore connection we either unplug and reboot or do a reset in the system menu. This has been happening 4 or 6 weeks. Last firmware update was early June, so it could be that, but feels like it's been happening longer. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Have to reconnect to the internet every time the device powers on

Jump to solution

I was intrigued by the Factory Reset solution proposed by @Domamari since it seemed to solve his connect problem.  I previously tried my own workaround by plugging in an old Roku stick into the HDMI port of my Phillips Roku TV, then setting the TV to go to the HDMI port when it powers on.  That workaround gave me a working TV since that particular Roku stick never had a connection problem in the past.  However, it seemed ridiculous to plug a Roku stick into a Roku TV.

So yesterday (Sat, July 6), out of curiosity, I did a factory reset of the Phillips Roku TV, connected it to wifi and logged into my Roku account.  Setup was easy peasy, just like the first time I did this when I first installed the TV. 

My TP-Link Deco X68 mesh system has three networks: (1) the main mesh network (currently includes both 2.4G and 5G); (2) guest network (currently set to 2.4G); and (3) IOT network (also currently set to 2.4G).  Based on a prior suggestion from a Roku tech support person several months ago, I connected the TV to the IOT network to make sure the TV only saw 2.4G.  At the moment, nothing else is connected to that IOT network.

It's only been one day so no valid conclusions can be reached.  However, I turned the TV on three times today with several hours in between.  It connected each time.  That's promising, but there's no telling what will happen tomorrow or the next day.  I'll give it a week or two and report back.

Clearly, there is some sort of bug that causes Roku TV's to disconnect and fail to reconnect to wifi.  Hopefully, the Roku people can find the bug and fix it - permanently.
