Hi Community Users,

We appreciate you reaching us here in the Roku Community!

We want to let you know that performing a Factory Reset on your Roku TV may resolve the issue you are experiencing.

Here are the steps:

1. Press the Home button on your Roku remote
2. Scroll and select Settings
3. Select System
4. Select Advanced System settings
5. Select Factory reset
6. Select Factory reset everything
7. Follow the on-screen instructions

You may also use the physical button on your Roku TV. It is located on the back or bottom of your device, the physical Reset button is either tactile or a pinhole design that requires a straightened paperclip. It will appear similar to one of the following:

Once you locate the Reset button and your Roku device is powered on, press and hold the button firmly for about 10 seconds. When the factory reset is complete, an indicator light or status LED will blink rapidly on most Roku devices.

After a successful factory reset, your Roku device will restart in the same state as a factory-new device.

We hope you'll find this information helpful. Let us know if you still have any questions.

Everytime I turn off my Roku tv and I turn it on. The WiFi immediately disconnects and I have to reconnect it everytime. The WiFi doesn’t disconnect while it’s on, only if i turn it off. I was wondering how I can fix that?

I have a device where we have to unplug the tv each time it powers off.  I wish we didn’t have to do that.  But once it’s plugged back in it connects back to the internet without having to do anything else.  I would love to not even have to unplug it each time.  Hope this helps

Seems like I too have similar issues with wifi. It was working fine but about 6 months to maybe a yr now when I turn the TV on I have to go into system settings-power- system restart to get it to reconnect to wifi. Before it got this bad it was about 3 months of just having to research for my network and it would then reconnect. This is a 32 inch Roku Tv. I have had this tv for about 7 yrs. Bought new at time. I have tried the low power mode, quick start mode, wifi booster both in same room and next room, putting tv in straight sight of router with all bedroom doors open, and a new router. Nothing worked. It is getting really sad we pay hundreds of $ to get just 7-10yrs out off. Next time you buy divide that cost by 10 and that's how much you will be paying a yr for it.

Just a follow up. Per an earlier email that I sent, the problem was only corrected by doing a "Factory Reset Everything". This corrected the problem for a few days. Yesterday evening we had a 15-20 minute power outage which of course caused our internet to fail. Since this power/internet outage the original issue has again returned. The TV loses wifi connection whenever the TV is turned off. So it seems I can either do a complete "Factory Reset Everything" each time we have a power or internet glitch or each time I turn on the TV I can go into settings > system > power > system restart in order to get the Roku working. Not exactly what I was hoping for, but at least I have a couple options to actually be able to use the TV.

Hi, It's been months now that Roku released this awful patch that causes thousands of customers a huge hassle, doing a force hard restart everytime you want to use your tv is not normal. when will this be patched? @RokuCarly
