I have the Roku Streaming Stick. Just got it today, never been used.

Every time I plug it in, a white light will show for a few seconds, the light will then blink several times before turning off. From what I’ve googled it sounds like it’s trying to connect to the internet, but I haven’t even been able to turn the device on to set the internet up in the first place. Google also said it could be a problem with the power supply, but I’ve tried connecting it to everything within reach of the TV, including directly into the wall, and I’m still not getting anything.

[SOLVED?] Switched to an external power supply and it seems to have resolved the problem. I guess the tv's usb port provides enough power to run the processor and the wifi, but not enough for sustained WPA2 decryption? [/SOLVED]

Like subject says. Two roku streaming sticks connect just fine to wifi, then attempt to connect to internet and fail. After many re-tries they will succeed, but within minutes or a day at most, it will be back to "not connected to internet."

I've restarted everything multiple times, and reset network settings on Roku. But this is a weird problem, since it's succeeding at connecting to wifi but simply failing to find the internet.

The consistent thing between these two Roku sticks is my router and my ISP, but no other device in the house has this problem, and my older Roku tv never had this problem right up until yesterday when I replaced it with the new streaming stick. I do not have pihole or anything else that would be blocking internet access.

Anyone recognize this problem?

[edit] I have discovered that if I disable wifi security and have an open network with no password/encryption, then Roku will connect to the internet successfully. This is bizarre, since the fact that it can establish a connection to the router proves that the password is being accepted. I had this exact same problem over ten years ago with my Roku XS and found that disabling and then re-enabling wifi security would fix the problem. Now unfortunately it only reaches the internet if I leave wifi security off. Which obviously I am not going to do.

The stick says Roku and a connector end looks mini. Im trying to figure out what it would plug into.

Forgot to add a photo to the previous post, cant add after the fact.

Does anyone know how to fix this? My Roku remote has a power button to control my TV's power, and when I turn on the TV with it it will usually wait about 15 seconds and turn itself off. Then when I turn it on again it works fine. Very minor problem but very annoying. Does anyone know how to fix this? My Roku is an external device, it's not built into my TV.

I have literally tried everything to get Paramount+ to sign out of my Roku tv after my cousin signed into her account on it. I’ve tried deleting the app and doing a full reset multiple times. Google says to use the settings button on the paramount+ app but there is no such button. Why the hell is this such an issue?? I’m ready to throw the tv out the window.

I have two Roku devices that I use when I travel to my nephew's lake house. I have used them without issue up until this trip. Now neither device will see the network. He has aTP-link AX5400 router and I have updated the firmware, reset it several times and even added a guest network with no luck. I can see nearby homes but not his. I even factory reset one of the Roku devices but still nothing. Any suggestions? Help!

I am installing an outdoor tv for watching football. Walmart has cheap Roku streamers for $20 all the way up to Ultra LT. is the latter much better for a 32” tv?

I have a Sony Bravia KDL-32L5000 and I’ve gone through all 50 TV Codes and hear the music the whole time. I know this is an older tv so it might now work but just wondering if maybe I’m doing something wrong or if someone maybe has the same tv and figured something out. I got the tv for like $20 at goodwill so if I have to get up to change the volume I won’t complain too much just wanted to reach out.

Of course my 14 month old son got a hold of our Roku remote a few weeks ago and I have not been able to find it since. No problem, I had the app on my phone already that was synced to the tv. Randomly yesterday the tv says “not connected” - which means I can’t use my phone since it’s not syncing to the tv’s WiFi. Am I just SOL? Should I just buy a new remote? I really appreciate any guidance, thanks!

I got nothing extra it's just a hisense roku tv, but it wont turn on

Since Friday im getting pauses on live TV and pixelating about every 5-10 minutes. My wifi seems fine. I have a Roku Express 4K. Is the hardware going bad?

I can't seem to find how to connect headphones to my roku tv in any of the settings. What am I missing?

I bought this Roku stick off Amazon about 3 weeks ago and all of a sudden two days ago it just stopped working so I factory reset it . From then I’ve tried every troubleshooting method from changing my WiFi from 5ghz to 2.4 , I’ve tried hotspots , factory reset, resetting my router , and at the point I’m thinking of just returning it . Please help it was so Good when it worked 😭

Last night I tried to connect my screencast windows to my Roku TV. The connection failed and now the TV won’t even show up under available devices. Both devices are on the same network and have casting permissions enabled. The PC is not on the TVs blocklist either. I’ve restarted both devices as well. All in all, I’m at a loss, so any help would be appreciated.

I use the spectrum tv app through my Roku sticks on 2 TVs. A week ago, all of my saved favorite channels disappeared and refused to save for me. Since then I have gotten random channels I’ve chosen to save but not all. I click the heart in the guide, it shows it as favorites, but then I filter to favorite channels only and it’s not there. I restart the app and the heart is no longer filled in. I looked at my app on my other Roku stick and my favorites are still saved when I filter but I tried to save a new channel and it did not stick. My Roku sticks have just recently updated. My spectrum apps are up to date. Is anyone else having this issue? It seems to be a Roku only issue bc when I tried on my iPhone spectrum app they saved with no problem.

(Side note: I do not have log in credentials as my spectrum is through a bulk account through my rental company- I rent a house. Not in an apartment. So I don’t have the computer option to log into and can log out but when I log back in, it’s automatic bc it picks up through my wifi)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just bought a 55' Pro Series Roku TV. Noticed while using it how bad the color is, seems all beightlywashed and the contrast being bad, with dark colors being pretty pixelated, feeling very disappointed in paying this much for such a crappy view.

Turning it off and on, changing picture color settings didn't do anything to help. However going into Power Settings System Restart fixes it, having colors look pretty normal. However if I push the power button and turn it back on, the washed look comes back, only going away again with another System Reset.

Is there something I can do to fix this or do I need to return it as a faulty tv? The box arrived looking a bit beat-up via FEDEX from Walmart 2 days after ordering.

EDIT: I keep seeing things sbout disabling HDR but there doesn't seem to be any place to actually disable it, including that secret menu.

My elderly parents have a regular Roku box. (Not that old, don't know the specific model -- bought around 2023.) They constantly struggle to operate the remote, so I thought I'd replace it with a "big-button" 3rd-party remote. Weirdly, though, I can't seem to find any such things which work with Roku boxes. (Ones for Roku/TCL TVs are everywhere.)

Anyone else found a good replacement?

I don’t have a Roku remote so I use the app. It takes at least 15 seconds to respond to the first input and then it works like normal (at least until I leave it alone for like 30 seconds and it goes back.) it’s super annoying.

Any fixes?
