Exact questions

Common questions

What does 014.30 mean on a Roku streaming device?+

Roku's Wi-Fi page lists 14.30 under “Can't connect to internet”.

Do I need to factory reset?+

Not as a first step. Network checks and restarts clear most cases.

Does a wired connection help?+

On models with an Ethernet port, a cable takes Wi-Fi out of the question.

Will resetting the Roku help?+

Restarting from System restart is enough for most cases. A factory reset removes the channels and account link and is a last step.

Why does it work on the phone hotspot?+

That shows the Roku's Wi-Fi works and the home network or router setting is the problem.

Does the 2.4 or 5 GHz band matter?+

It can. If the router offers both bands under one name, try the other band by name if your router lists them separately, or move closer.

Does the Roku need a software update?+

A Roku that cannot get online cannot update itself. Restore the connection first, and the device will check for its update once it is online.

Should I change the DNS setting?+

Only after the basic checks. The code means the Roku could not reach the internet, so confirm the router itself is online first.
