Having to restart roku tv after turning on to connect to wifi

Jump to solution

Seems like I too have similar issues with wifi. It was working fine but about 6 months to maybe a yr now when I turn the TV on I have to go into system settings-power- system restart to get it to reconnect to wifi. Before it got this bad it was about 3 months of just having to research for my network and it would then reconnect. This is a 32 inch Roku Tv. I have had this tv for about 7 yrs. Bought new at time. I have tried the low power mode, quick start mode, wifi booster both in same room and next room, putting tv in straight sight of router with all bedroom doors open, and a new router. Nothing worked. It is getting really sad we pay hundreds of $ to get just 7-10yrs out off. Next time you buy divide that cost by 10 and that's how much you will be paying a yr for it.
