Re: Roku TV keeps disconnecting from wifi when i turn it off and back on

Jump to solution

 I am still having to system restart every time I go to watch as well. It has just become routine for me to cut the TV on and then do a system restart for the TV to reconnect. For those hoping for a fix from Roku. I would not hold my breath at this stage. It looks like they have no idea what is causing the issue and I doubt very seriously they will be able to fix it

OK, maybe this will help some of you.  Evidently, this Roku Tech Site is not helping me / us right now.  I called the TCL Roku Tech Support line 877-300-8837 and they were very helpful.  Was on the call for about 45 minutes.  They had me run through various trouble-shooting methods.  Most of which, I already did.  Where we ended up is that they think the problem is a defective wifi card in the TV.  When I goolged that, a lot of others had the same problem.  

With all of that being said, it seems like the best way to resolve this is to buy a Roku stick.  We just have to reset all our apps.  I definetly am not happy that this TCL TV has a defect in it.  A lot of others complained as well.

If Roku Tech Support has another solution, I am eager to hear it.

Re: Wifi Not Staying Connected, drops every 10 minutes.

I have several TCL TVs but only the 50S425 is having this issue which started a few weeks ago.

The only way to reconnect is to do system restart. I have a FIO gateway modem/router. Other device details include software OS/Version 13.0.0 • BUILD24062-93, device ID is S036D03PARL2, and serial number is X000002PARL2.

Would appreciate an updated answer on fixing this issue.

Phillips Roku TV (w/built in Roku) loses wifi daily and refuses to connect until everything rebooted

Jump to solution

I have a Phillips Roku TV, so Roku is built in (i.e., no stick).  It worked well for a couple of months, then suddenly "no connection."  Not only is there no connection when I turn it on, but then I go to settings and attempt to "connect."  My wifi (Deco mesh system) is recognized and shows a strong signal.  I hit connect, but NO DICE.  It refuses to connect to the wifi it sees. (Yes, the password is correct.)  I unplug the TV for 30 seconds, then plug in and power on.  Occasionally, that works, but mostly not.  I need to unplug TV and reboot my router.  Then when everything is up and running, I have a wifi connection (or, if not, I can reconnect through settings).  I've tried numerous steps, like telling the TV to forget the network and only connecting to the IOT band that is restricted to 2.4G.  The problem persists.  I can turn this TV on in the morning and have a connection, then turn it off for several hours, then turn it on in the afternoon only to see "no connection."  And then I have to go through the multiple reboots mentioned above to get the connection back.  This makes ABSOLUTELY no sense.

I have two other TVs with Roku streaming sticks and have not run into this problem.  In fact, the problem TV (in my basement) is a replacement for a smaller TV with which I used a Roku streaming stick.  I never had a problem with that Roku streaming stick, which is in the exact same location as the problem Phillips Roku TV.  What gives?

Is there a solution short of tossing this TV?  (Is there some way I can use the old Roku streaming stick by plugging it into one of the HDMI ports on the Phillips Roku TV?  If so, how do I get the TV to automatically go to the HDMI channel?  Totally frustrated!!!!!

I can't help with the TV issue, but you can use your stick on the TV.  There's a setting under Settings->System->Power on the TV to select how it powers up.  You can have it always power on to the stick's HDMI port.  It can get confusing with a Roku device connected to a Roku TV, so it's helpful to use two different wallpapers/themes so you know immediately which one's Home Screen your looking at (and which one's remote you need to use).

Roku instantly disconnects from wifi

Jump to solution

Hello! I have had my roku for a few years with no previous issues. Lately, I will connect to the wifi once starting the tv but by the time I open an app, such as HBO Max, and click on my show - the roku disconnects from the wifi. I try multiple times and it says I have an excellent connection on the network screen and it will connect but then each time I go back to play my show it disconnects again. My phone and other tv have no issues with a bad signal or any issues disconnecting from the wifi - it just seems to be this tv. I live in an apartment complex so I don't have access to the router but I'm not sure if it is an issue there since none of my other devices have any other issues and the roku itself says that it has an excellent signal. I have tried: software update, network reset, disconnecting and reconnecting, doing a restart, doing a hard factory reset, all multiple times. Not sure what else to try, any help is appreciated. This is the onn. Roku tv model 100012589.
