Roku Express Mini USB Replacement

Jump to solution

I need to replace the mini USB power cord.  I was looking on Amazon but was confused by the wide selection.  What specs should I consider?

If you're looking for a mini usb thats probably where you're having trouble, the correct term is micro-usb.

There's nothing all that special about a Roku USB cable.  As long as it has a USB A connecter at one end and a USB mini at the other it should be fine.  This is just used for power, not data, so data ratings are not important here.

Good catch, missed that.

The one place you need a USB with a mini connection is if you have a Streaming Stick+.  It has an enhanced wifi receiver that they've located outside the stick into the USB power cord.  This cord connects to the stick via a less common mini connector instead of a micro connector to prevent you from connecting a plain old USB micro cable.  If you have a Streaming Stick+ and do use a plain mini USB cord you'll not be able to connect to your wifi.

For this you need the "USB Power Cable with Long-range Wireless Receiver* found on this page:. https://www.roku.com/products/accessories/streaming-stick.  You can also find it on Amazon and other sources.
