Roku Camera Doorbell will not connect

Jump to solution

The camera will not connect. It worked perfectly fine, till it didn't. I've tried rebooting the router. Made sure I was connecting to 2.4ghz. Tried everything I was told, but kept getting an error code of 20004 and 20005 I would appreciate any help you can give me with this matter.

Thank you Lucy Lu

ERROR CODE 20004-Wire-free doorbell will not connect

Jump to solution
 

My Roku wire doorbell & chime SE worked suddenly. When I tried connecting, it would not connect, saying Failed to connect. Check doorbell internet connection. Error code 20004" and to make sure my wi-fi router, doorbell and chime are all under 30 feet of each other. All 3 are well under 30 feet away from each other, but it still will not connect, no matter what I try. Even took the doorbell off the mount, fully charged it, reset it, my modem/router and the chime. None of that worked.

Also, uninstalled the home app, checked everything is updated. But nothing helps. How can I get this fixed?

20004 Error Code for Wire free doorbell

Jump to solution

I have a wireless Roku Doorbell. as of yesterday afternoon, it stopped connecting. This has happened in the past, but a quick reconnect has always worked. However, nothing works this time. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, disconnected and reconnected the device. moved my chime, router, and modem around. I have turned the doorbell off and left it for an hour, I have also fully charged it, although it did not drop below 75%

I have left it uninstalled overnight hoping it just needed to "refresh", but that did nothing. 

The error is: Failed to connect. Please check your doorbell internet connection. Error code: 20004. I have completed the troubleshooting ideas it gives, but still nothing. The chime says it is connected, and the camera connects during the initial connection phase, but then the error immediately pops up after attempting to review the live feed. 

My devices firmware says up to date and is V5.2.0.19 the MAC # is 7C67AB562C0C and the signal strength on both the chime and doorbell shows 3 bars (the highest level). There have been no changes to my internet network since before this started. 

This is ridiculous, I pay a subscription for the ability to protect my home. I cannot do that if I cannot use the Doorbell. I've owned it for about 6-10 months, and it needs to be working. 

 

Please give me an answer that is not robotic/copy and paste. I need answers on how to really fix this not speculation, if you work for Roku, you should know the product. If your part of the community, please provide any tips you have. 

I have already filed a log complaint on the app. ID 72-297-936
