Sometimes the bandwidth is affected by other users or the system just can\u2019t get hold of the Wi-fi signal. Lastly, whatever the issue you are facing, it can most possibly be solved by reconnecting, try reconnecting to the Wi-Fi. Here are the steps to follow to reconnect to your wireless network.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Let\u2019s get on the <strong>home screen<\/strong> from where you can <strong>click left<\/strong> on your Roku remote and you will be in your <strong>Main Menu<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>From the main menu, you can scroll onto <strong>settings<\/strong> and <strong>click right<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Now in settings, scroll to <strong>network<\/strong>, <strong>press right<\/strong> to go on the <strong>Network Page<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>You will be able to see the desired page, now scroll down to <strong>Set up Connection<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Choose <strong>Wireless<\/strong> and then <strong>press OK<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Roku will now fetch the nearest Wi-Fi networks and give you the option to choose from.

Maybe you have someone in the house who is gaming or enough people taking up the bandwidth of your internet connection. Another issue might just be an internet modem with the ethernet issue.<\/p>\n<p>These are the two main issues, let\u2019s see how to solve them.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The bandwidth of Network Connection<\/strong>: You can solve this issue by disconnecting other devices in the house. This will help you get more of the internet in your Roku. Gaming and streaming live videos take a lot of the internet. If you are downloading heavy software, that would take quite a bit of internet too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Restarting Modem<\/strong>: Furthermore, another thing you can quickly check is if your modem has the internet at all. You can tell this by just checking your phone or other devices. If your modem doesn\u2019t have an internet connection then try restarting the modem and you might get the internet. If the connection still doesn\u2019t appear, get on a call with your ISP. They might have an issue on their end.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_221674\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-221674\" style=\"width: 930px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-221674\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hitechwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/why-is-my-roku-not-connecting-to-wifi.jpg\" alt=\"why is my roku not connecting to wifi\" width=\"930\" height=\"393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hitechwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/why-is-my-roku-not-connecting-to-wifi.jpg 930w, https:\/\/www.hitechwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/why-is-my-roku-not-connecting-to-wifi-300x127.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hitechwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/why-is-my-roku-not-connecting-to-wifi-768x325.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hitechwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/why-is-my-roku-not-connecting-to-wifi-600x254.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-221674\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">why is my roku not connecting to wifi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_Roku_Without_Remote_Control\"><\/span>How to Use Roku Without Remote Control<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you don\u2019t have the Wi-fi connection, the remote connect either because it works with the Wi-fi.
