class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When <strong>Roku keeps disconnecting from the Internet<\/strong>, many reasons lead to this problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It could be a WiFi problem or about Roku itself, specifically:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Distance from the router:<\/strong> If your Roku is far from the WiFi router or blocked by walls, it might not get a good signal, causing disconnects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>WiFi signal issues:<\/strong> The core reason for your Roku&#8217;s disconnects is often related to your WiFi network.<br>Weak signals, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geeksforgeeks.org\/what-is-network-congestion-common-causes-and-how-to-fix-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">network congestion<\/a>, or temporary outages can lead to this issue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Interference:<\/strong> Electronic devices like cordless phones, microwaves, and baby monitors can interfere with WiFi signals, leading to disconnections.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Outdated firmware: <\/strong>Your Roku device and router must have up-to-date firmware for optimal performance.<br>Old software can make them not work well together.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Router issues: <\/strong>Sometimes, the router itself might be the culprit.<br>Overloaded routers, outdated hardware, or configuration problems can result in inconsistent connections.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Power Saving settings:<\/strong> They conserve energy by putting your Roku into sleep mode when not in use.<br>Yet, this can sometimes result in a disconnecting issue if it goes to sleep too quickly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding out the cause of this problem is essential to finding a solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, check out the factors I mentioned. Then, learn how to fix it in the next section!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Fix_Roku_Keeps_Disconnecting_From_WiFi\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>How To Fix Roku Keeps Disconnecting From WiFi?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/smarterve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fix-Roku-Disconnecting-From-WiFi.jpg\" alt=\"How To Fix Roku Keeps Disconnecting From WiFi\" class=\"wp-image-9561\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5;width:787px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smarterve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fix-Roku-Disconnecting-From-WiFi.jpg 540w, https:\/\/smarterve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Fix-Roku-Disconnecting-From-WiFi-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Fix Roku Disconnecting From WiFi<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To fix Roku disconnecting from WiFi, you can replace the router, strengthen the WiFi signal, fix interference, update Roku firmware, fix router issues, or turn off Power Saving settings.<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_1_Optimal_Router_Placement\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>Method 1: Optimal Router Placement<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When this problem occurs, the first thing you need to do is determine if the distance between the Roku device and the WiFi router is too far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, you should move your router closer to your Roku device to improve your WiFi connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, here are some of my tips for optimal router placement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Put your WiFi router in the middle of your home.<br>Thus, the signal can reach all the rooms more evenly and prevent some areas from losing the signal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don&#8217;t keep the router on the ground. Instead, put it on a shelf or a table or hang it on the wall.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep the router away from walls, big furniture, and metal stuff.<br>These things can stop the WiFi signal. Try to put it where nothing&#8217;s in the way.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If your home has more than one floor, try putting the router on the top floor.<br>This way, the signal can reach both upstairs and downstairs better.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If your router has antennas you can move, try pointing them a bit to cover different places.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After moving the router, see if your Roku works better in different spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the signal strength on your Roku to find the best place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_2_Strengthen_the_WiFi_Signal\"><\/span><strong>Method 2: Strengthen the WiFi Signal<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the distance between your Roku device and the router is close, but this problem keeps happening, I recommend using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geeksforgeeks.org\/difference-between-wifi-extender-and-wifi-booster\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a WiFi extender or a signal booster<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A WiFi extender can amplify the existing WiFi signal and extend its reach to areas with weak coverage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>External signal boosters, such as those with directional antennas, can amplify the WiFi signal and direct it toward specific areas in your home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your router has detachable antennas, consider upgrading to high-gain antennas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, you can invest in a mesh WiFi system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This setup involves multiple access points strategically placed throughout your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, it provides seamless coverage and eliminates dead zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If WiFi coverage is still an issue, you can use powerline adapters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These devices use your home&#8217;s electrical wiring to transmit the internet signal, providing a wired connection to areas with poor WiFi reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3

interference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cordless phones and microwaves are common culprits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: Move away<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep your Roku and router away from these interfering devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The farther they are, the less likely they disrupt your WiFi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: Use the 5GHz band<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your router has a 5GHz option, use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s usually less crowded than the 2.4GHz band and can help reduce interference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Note: <\/em><\/strong><em>the 5GHz band has a shorter range than the 2.4GHz band, so it&#8217;s best for devices closer to the router.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

and resolving disconnection issues, updating the Roku firmware can improve performance, stability, and compatibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, I recommend keeping your Roku firmware updated to ensure you have the latest improvements and fixes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how to do this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: Ensure your Roku is connected to the internet.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: Using your <a href=\"https:\/\/smarterve.com\/how-to-change-tv-input-with-roku-remote\/\">Roku remote<\/a>, navigate to the home screen.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: Scroll up or down to select &#8220;Settings.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4: From the Settings menu, choose &#8220;System.&#8221; Then select &#8220;System Update.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 5: Select &#8220;Check Now&#8221; to see if there&#8217;s an available update.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there&#8217;s an update, follow the on-screen prompts to download and install it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the update process, your Roku will restart, applying the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_5_Fix_Router_Issues\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>Method 5: Fix Router Issues<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>A WiFi Router<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the problem is not from the WiFi signal or the Roku software, it\u2019s likely caused by the router.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, I just need to reboot, and it&#8217;ll be back to normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the problem persists, you might need to perform a factory reset on your router with these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: Find the Reset button<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Locate the reset button on your router.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s usually a small button on the router&#8217;s back or bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It might be labeled as &#8220;Reset&#8221; or have a small hole with the word &#8220;Reset&#8221; next to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: Press and hold the Reset button (10-15 seconds)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: Power cycling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After holding the reset button, the router&#8217;s lights might flash or change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once this happens, release the button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The router will then reboot, which might take a minute or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4: Reconfigure your router<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the router has finished resetting, you&#8217;ll need to reconfigure it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This process includes setting up your WiFi network name (SSID), password, and any other custom settings you had before the reset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your router is old or isn&#8217;t performing well despite your efforts, you must upgrade to a newer model with better features and improved performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_6_Turn_Off_Power_Saving_Settings\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>Method 6: Turn Off Power Saving
