Hi RacingGirl,

Welcome to the Roku Community!

Thanks for letting us know about this issue you have had with the Roku TV since it stopped connecting to your Wi-Fi. No worries; help is here. A Roku TV might stop connecting to Wi-Fi for a variety of reasons, including a weak Wi-Fi signal, incorrect network settings on the Roku, router issues like a recent password change, network congestion from other devices, and a faulty power connection to the Roku.

We would like to gather more information and look into this problem more thoroughly. Can you please provide the following information below?

  • Did we recently make any changes to your network or network provider?
  • How many devices do you have connected to your network right now? (e.g. TV, mobile phone, laptops, computer)
  • What error message/code are you getting after trying to connect to your network? (after entering the network credentials)
  • Do you have cellular data so we can try connecting your device to your hotspot?

We look forward to your responses and gathering your details.

Thanks,
John

    I have the same software version as you and have had the same issue for about a month. 
    While not a permanent solution, I am able to establish a WiFi connection by resetting (not the same as power cycling) the TV.  It is a pain having to do this every single day, though:

    Settings -> System -> Power -> System Restart -> Restart
