Roku doesn’t respond
If your Roku is completely locked up, you might want to try hard resetting the Roku. A hard Roku reset requires you to locate the reset button on your device. The location will vary depending on the model. You hold down the button until you see it is actively resetting and the Roku logo has appeared on the screen. From here you’ll get a clean setup and hopefully find your problem is gone.
So, there you have it for this roundup of some of the common problems faced by Roku player owners, and potential solutions on how to fix them. If you have come across these issues, or any others, do let us know in the comments section below, and we will try to help you with them.
While all Roku products come with a simple IR remote, the Premiere+ and Ultra devices also come with “point anywhere” Wi-Fi remotes. As often happens with new devices, you may have some difficulty getting the remote to connect, or have issues with the connection dropping.
The first and most obvious, thing to do is to make sure that the batteries in the remote aren’t dead. Before any troubleshooting, a pair of fresh batteries is definitely recommended.
Fix Roku Not Working on TV
If you find the connection to drop frequently, try clearing the setting and re-pairing the remote again. First, unplug the Roku player, and then remove the battery compartment from the remote. Press and hold the A and B buttons, or the Home and Down buttons, depending on the remote, and then press the pairing button (in the battery compartment), while still holding the first two buttons. Release the buttons once the pairing LED starts flashing. There will be three more LED flashes, which indicates that the remote pairing has been cleared. Now reconnect the player, put the remote into pairing mode by pressing the pairing button, and you will see the pairing message on the screen once the player reboots completely.
Heavy congestion of wireless networks in your area, such as in a residential location, maybe causing some interference as well. Find a channel that is traffic-free, by using an app like Wi-Fi Analyzer (if you have an Android device) that can be downloaded from the Google Play Store. Channels 1,6, or 11 are recommended, as they have no overlapping frequencies. Check the user manual of your Wi-Fi router to find out how to change the channel.1
