Roku TV Stuck on Connecting… this may take a minute error

Jump to solution

Hello,

If you are able you can connect the TV physically to a router on your internal network, turn off the TV, I unplugged mine for a few seconds, then turn the TV back on so that it utilizes the physical ethernet connection.  Then you can either reconfigure your wireless or factory reset as needed.  The Factory reset on the back of the TV did not work on my TV.

Cheers,

@MxCreantSince you haven't stated the type of device, model number or otherwise, one of the most common connectivity issues is channel congestion. Have you attempted using a network app like WiFi Analyzer of Android or something similar if you own an iPhone? If not, I recommend you install the app which will show how many others are on the same channel/bandwidth setting. If there ARE lots of others on the same one your router is set to, I'd recommend changing it to a channel with less congestion. Hope that helps

Welcome to the Roku community, @Ominous_Sword!

We see that your Roku TV is experiencing connectivity issues with the internet, and we're here to help!

The strength of your wireless connection can be affected by factors like the amount of wireless traffic and the usage of other devices on your network. If the connection check shows poor or fair signal strength or you're experiencing connection or playback issues, try the following suggestions to improve your wireless connection.

  • Eliminate wireless interference:  Move any such device away from your router.
  • Check with your ISP: Visit the website of your internet service provider (ISP) to inquire about any outages or connectivity-related issues. 
  • Reduce network usage by other devices: Other connected devices like streaming players, computers, game consoles, and mobile devices can affect your network connection. You may also try to reduce the usage of other network devices when using your Roku TV.
  • Move your Roku device router:
    • Reduce distance: Moving your Roku device and router closer to each other can improve the wireless signal.
    • Eliminate obstructions: Place both devices with fewer obstructions and walls between them to improve signal strength. Avoid placing them inside cabinets.
    • Adjust router antennas: If your router has one or more external antennas, try reorienting them and checking the signal strength.
    • Try an elevated location: Try moving your router and Roku device to a higher location in the room.
    • Mobile hotspot: You might want to consider using mobile data to see if it makes any difference.

We would recommend trying to see if that resolves your issue. Please keep us posted.

Best regards,
Jharra

@Andreasava2o03, look for a reset button on the back of the TV.  You may need to use something like a paperclip to press the button through the pinhole.

Suddenly stopped working says connecting this may take a minute but it's been over an hour

Jump to solution

My TCL Roku TV suddenly stopped working this morning. When I turned it on I got a message saying "connecting...this may take a minute" but it's been over an hour. 

I've unplugged everything twice, and rebooted my internet still nothing. The screen underneath the message has the words TCL Roku TV and the current time and an ad for the mobile app, and when I hit any button on the remote I get a beep so there is sound.
