How to Fix a Roku TV Showing “No Connection – Connect to the Internet Now, or set it up later at: Settings Network Check Connection Exit to check connection Set it up later”
If your Roku TV displays the message:
"No Connection. Connect to the internet now, or set it up later at Settings - Network - Check Connection"
try these troubleshooting steps in order:
1. Restart the Roku TV
Unplug the TV from power.
Wait 60 seconds.
Plug it back in and turn it on.
Check if the connection is restored.
2. Restart Your Router and Modem
Unplug your modem and router.
Wait 60 seconds.
Plug in the modem first and wait until it fully reconnects.
Plug in the router and wait for it to boot up.
Try reconnecting the Roku TV.
3. Run Roku's Network Check
Press Home on the remote.
Go to Settings - Network - Check Connection.
Allow Roku to test the internet connection.
Note any error messages displayed.
4. Reconnect to Your Wi-Fi Network
Go to Settings - Network - Set Up Connection - Wireless.
Select your Wi-Fi network.
Re-enter the Wi-Fi password carefully.
Make sure the password is entered exactly as shown on your router.
5. Verify Other Devices Can Connect
Test the same Wi-Fi network using a phone, tablet, or computer.
If other devices cannot connect, the problem is likely with your internet service or router.
6. Move the Router Closer
Weak Wi-Fi signals can cause Roku connection errors.
Move the router closer to the TV if possible.
Remove obstacles such as walls, cabinets, or large metal objects.
7. Check Router Settings
Some routers may block Roku devices due to:
MAC filtering
Access control settings
Guest network restrictions
Disabled DHCP
Ensure these features are not preventing the Roku TV from connecting.
8. Forget the Network and Reconnect
Go to Settings - Network - Advanced System Settings - Network Connection Reset (if available).
Restart the TV.
Set up the Wi-Fi connection again.
9. Update Roku Software
If the TV has intermittent internet access:
Go to Settings - System - Software Update.
Check for and install any available updates.
10. Factory Reset the Roku TV
If nothing else works:
Go to Settings - System - Advanced System Settings - Factory Reset.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
Reconnect the TV to your Wi-Fi network during setup.
11. Test with a Mobile Hotspot
Enable a hotspot on your smartphone.
Connect the Roku TV to the hotspot.
If the Roku connects successfully, the issue is likely with your router or ISP rather than the TV.
Common Causes
Incorrect Wi-Fi password
Router malfunction
ISP outage
Weak wireless signal
Router security settings blocking Roku
Outdated Roku software
Temporary Roku network glitches
In many cases, a full restart of both the Roku TV and the router resolves the "No Connection" error. It might also state on the screen Oops Something went wrong This content has an issue and can't play. Give it another try or select something else to watch. #roku
