The error code When the Roku won’t connect to the internet or when the Roku won’t connect to the wireless network, you might have to tackle it a little differently. Popularly known as the Roku error code 003, the device will invariably display the message ‘Try updating again’. For all extended outages, Roku itself gives you an alert. As an immediate step to resolve the 003, (or even 009) you can always remove the many devices connected to the network. And you must also remember that the Roku requires a minimum of 4 mbps to work well. What happens when you face an error during the initial setup of your Roku? But before that let’s explore the reasons why internet connections stop working randomly. Internet connection not working! But why does this happen so often? Although we think that the router is a simple internet box that sends signals to your devices, there is a lot more to it. Just like a desktop PC, routers have a CPU, main board, memory card, I/O and even an operating system. All these put together help manage data traffic. These are the deciding elements to what needs to be sent where. These router components can get significantly overloaded. Pushing huge amounts of data through your router to several devices can also slow it down. This is also one of the reasons why the Roku keeps losing connection. Dynamic IP addresses Most home internet connections depend on the dynamic IP addresses. These can actually complicate matters. ISPs or internet service providers usually assign IP addresses that are a lot like a home or street addresses. These help identify and streamline internet traffic, and find your devices to each of the modems for a certain period of time. When the time frame expires, the ISP will provide you with a new one. Fault But if your router is busy, it usually does not latch on the new IP address. As a result, it continues to use the old one. This is more like receiving mail to your old physical address. It could also happen that the router is hot. Most of the time, the fault is ours. Do not shove your router into a space where its ventilation holes get blocked. Even cables and dust nearby can cause it to overheat. So, be sure to check if your router is crammed and take it out to let it breathe. Air waves
But there are other problems that are not necessarily a router malfunction. If you are on a Wi-Fi connection, sometimes the air waves get very crowded. Also one of the leading causes of roku wifi problems, this happens when you are on the common 2.4 GHz band. Noise from common home devices such as microwave ovens, and even signals from routers in the area, on the same frequency can overlap. These make it difficult for your device to recognize any signals. You can identify this by downloading a mobile app that can analyze networks close by. You can also go into your router settings and change the channel. Or simply, switch bands. The final tackle Isn’t it common that you are in the middle of a sports show and are about to go to an important penalty kick, for example, and everything just freezes. To put it simply, the Roku won’t connect to internet. A yellow icon appears indicating that you have no internet connection. Unless there has been an infrastructural incident right outside your home, the fix actually is relatively easy. Remedy Go over to your router and look at the indicator lights. The light under ‘Internet’ might be red or will act in a manner that is indicative of an issue. At the time, all you have to do is: First, unplug the router Wait for a few seconds Now, plug it back in and power on again. In the interim, you definitely must have missed something important. But in the end, you will be back online now.
