Connectivity issues and unable to do system updates

For the past few months I’ve had problems with Roku not connecting to the internet, being extremely slow and have been unable to perform a system update after trying multiple times. It’s saying my last system update was in February. I’ve deleted some apps, upgraded my internet twice, got a new router and my internet company checked the connection and says everything is fine but the problem persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Connectivity issues and unable to do system updates

Hi, @Bklyn-76 

Thanks for posting, and welcome to the Roku Community.

We came across your post where you mentioned that you are having an issue with the network on your Roku Roku Streaming Device, and we'd be glad to help. For this issue, we recommend performing troubleshooting steps to address the problem at hand. Kindly follow the steps below:

Restart your Roku

  1. Press Home on your Roku remote
  2. Scroll and select Settings
  3. Select System
  4. Select Power. If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step.
  5. Select System restart

Restart your network connection

  1. Press Home on your Roku remote
  2. Scroll and select Settings
  3. Select Advanced system settings
  4. Select Network connection reset
  5. Select Reset connection

After the network reset is done, your Roku device will restart and you will need to return to the Settings menu and set up your wireless network again. It is also recommended to restart your network modem/router for better results.

Once all of the steps mentioned above have been performed, please check if you notice any improvements. If the issue persists, please provide the details below:

  • Roku device model, serial number, device ID, and software OS/version. (These can all be found in Settings > System > About).
  • Tracker ID when this issue occurs. (When you see this issue occur, press the Home button 5 times, followed by the Back button 5 times, and provide us with this ID)

Your response would be much appreciated. 

Best wishes,
Kash

Re: Connectivity issues and unable to do system updates

My internet service provider is PA.net CTI Networks. It's DSL through Verizon. 

My router was just purchased from that company recently and the brand is Century Link Model # C1100Z

Error code 009 when I go to check my internet connection even though the screen says I'm connected.

Thanks very much for the assistance.

Re: Connectivity issues and unable to do system updates

I did a factory reset as recommended by my tv company TCL and now it won’t let me proceed, it gets to the update loads it 100% then keeps saying unable to update after trying repeatedly.

Re: Connectivity issues and unable to do system updates

Hi, @Bklyn-76 

Thanks for posting here in the Roku Community.

We understand that your Roku TV is having network connection issues, as well as won't update. For the error code 009, this code means your Roku TV is connected to the router, but not able to connect to the internet. If no connection exists, contact your ISP for help.

Additionally, you can reset your Roku TV once more to be able to set it up again one more time to see if it updates. Also, you can try to connect to an alternate network, such as a mobile hotspot, to see if you're able to complete the update process.

Keep us posted on how this works.

Best wishes,
Kash

Re: Connectivity issues and unable to do system updates

Hi. I did contact my ISP and they checked the signal and said everything was fine. I even upgraded my speed and purchased a new router but that did not help either. As far as resetting the Roku TV, it will not let me do that since doing the factory reset. It won’t go past the step of trying to install an update. It won’t let me set it up, it just gets stuck there.
