[Solved by future update] Roku TV |Network Connection Issues After OS Update

Jump to solution

Hi Community users,

We have received reports that some users with Roku TV are experiencing difficulty connecting to their home network following a recent OS update.

Update (July 18th): We've identified the problem and expect a fix in a future update.

In the meantime, we recommend performing a factory resetHere’s how:

  1. Locate the reset button on your Roku device, which is usually on the back or bottom.

  2. Ensure your Roku TV is powered on.

  3. Press and hold the reset button for exactly 10 seconds.

  4. Watch for a fast-blinking light, indicating that the reset is in progress.

  5. Once the light blinks at a normal rate, release the button.

Update: 7/16 - Under investigation

You can attempt the following steps using your remote control to trigger an automatic restart of your Roku device:

  • Press the Home button (five times),
  • Then press the Up button,
  • Followed by pressing Rewind (twice),
  • And Fast Forward (twice).

Resolution: Perform a manual factory reset

Previous update: 7/11 This issue is currently being investigated.

To assist us in resolving this, please provide the following information:

  • Roku device model, serial number, device ID, and OS version (accessible via Settings > System > About).
  • Tracker ID (to obtain this, press the Home button 5 times, followed by the Back button 5 times when the issue occurs).
  • What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far to resolve the issue?
  • Who is your ISP (internet service provider) and what is the make and model of your router?

Thank you once again for your understanding and cooperation.

Hi Community users,

Thank you for keeping us posted!

We understand that you are experiencing issues with the Roku TV as it was not able to detect or reconnect to your network after getting disconnected. We would be pleased to help you even more. Please try to factory reset your Roku TV by following the steps below.

  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. If you have a Roku TV, select Factory reset everything. Otherwise, move to the next step.
  7. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Using the physical button

Located on the back or bottom of your TV, the physical Reset button is either tactile or pinhole-designed and requires a straightened paperclip to open. Once you locate the Reset button and your Roku TV is powered on, press and hold the button firmly for about 10 seconds.

Please let us know if the issue is fixed or reply to the thread for further assistance, we will be glad to help you.

Best regards,

Hi @AKirk,

Thanks for posting, and welcome to the Roku Community.

We acknowledge your concern and flagging this to us. Is there an ethernet port to your Roku TV, and see if you can connect an ethernet cable to get a network? Also, have you tried the soft restart to your Roku TVs and streaming device by navigating to Settings > System > Power > (skip if no sub-menu) System Restart? Further, have you tried connecting to an alternative network, such as a mobile hotspot, to see if you're able to maintain a connection?

Let us know.

All the best,
Kash

I can't view the video, but is the MAC address that's displayed under Settings->System->About all zeros by any chance?

My Onn TV is doing the same thing. Constantly kicks me offline but other TV's and devices are fine. Tried everything listed, still not fixed.

That did not work.

I second this. Something is wrong with the TV itself. It won't even let me use the remote and I am always signing out/back in after resetting my router, TV, fixing the settings, logging off/on to my account. If there is not another way we need to know how we can get these replaced. Thank you.
