Hi @MiniVan,

Thanks for reaching out to us here in the Roku Community!

We understand that your Roku streaming sticks cannot maintain a connection with your network. We recommend ordering an HDMI Extender for your Roku streaming stick as a solution. You can order the HDMI Extender with no additional charge at this link: HDMI Extender.

Just make sure to fill in the required information.

Hi @DrJackie,

A warm welcome here at the Roku Community!

We regret to hear about the inconvenience this may have caused you. No worries. We're here to find you the best resolution possible.

Just to clarify, are you able to navigate your remote? It's possible that you can't proceed past choosing your preferred language because you can't use the buttons of your remote. Since you've mentioned that you have two Roku streaming devices, try to use a different remote. 

Pair it with the other streaming device. Here's how to Pair your remote.

Let us know how it goes, and we'd be more than happy to continue assisting you with this.

We'll wait for your response!

Thanks,
Carly

Welcome, and thank you for posting here at the Roku Community, @Gram5!

Thanks for raising your network connection issues with your Roku streaming device with us. May we first know what specific Roku streaming device you are experiencing this issue with? In addition, have you tried to restart your router? We also suggest reaching out to your Internet Service Provider and letting them reboot your network connection's system because, in most cases, this troubleshooting procedure resolves the issue you are currently having.

Hi @Mic1289708,

Welcome to the Roku Community!

I'm sorry to hear about the connectivity issue you're running into. I'd be happy to help take a closer look to see how we can help get you up and running.

A few questions here to better understand what you're experiencing:

  1. Could you please verify if you getting any error messages/codes when you are trying to connect your Roku device?
  2. Have you tried changing the wireless broadcast channel on the router to see if this will allow your device to connect?  
  3. How long have you been experiencing this problem?

We would recommend checking out our Support page for troubleshooting issues here: How to check the connection to your home network and the internet | Official Roku Support.

 Also, we recommend trying to connect your device to an alternate network, such as a mobile hotspot.

Keep us posted with what you find out.

Best regards,

Chel

Re: Roku Express 4K loses connection

I am having trouble with (2) 4K Express players. Both have excellent signal but the connection drops and then reconnects on its on. The error will display (see pics), then after a few minutes it reconnects. Seems to be a software issue. Started having this problem a few weeks ago. I’ve performed Network Connection Rest & Factory Reset. The issue remains. 

Current Software version: 12.0.0 Build: 4184

I have the exact same issue. I’ve done all the resets, restarted my router, unplugged the Roku, reset the device and everything. Now it disconnects after one to two minutes and it’s super frustrating. I hope an update is coming soon. My Roku is located about 3 ft from my router and has full signal strength. This is frustrating.

Hi @Brizzle99 @Lilzanazo,

Welcome to the Roku Community!

You seem to have done a ton of fantastic troubleshooting at this point. We would be more than happy to look further into this issue, but we will need more details. Can you please provide us with the following information:

  • Roku device model, serial number, device ID, and software OS/version (these can all be found in Settings > System > About)
  • Does this issue occur on a specific channel? If so, what channel and what version or build is it? (This can be found by selecting the channel on the home screen and pressing the * button.)
  • 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).
  • Steps to reproduce the issue you are seeing

Once we have this information, we will be able to pass it along to the appropriate Roku team to investigate further.

Best regards,

John

Same connection issue as everyone else

Jump to solution

Three out of 6 units dropping connections. Can’t reach a human being at Roku. Time to start looking for a new streaming device provider. Tired of resetting, reconnecting, waiting for the thing to go blank….if I wanted this aggravation I would have stayed with Comcast cable…
