Guided Setup. When prompted, select “Wireless” as your network connection and
have your network name and password ready. Then:
•Select your network from the list of available networks.
•Enter your network password, if you use one. Remember that network
passwords are case sensitive.
Wired: If you use a wired network, this step is a snap. Simply connect the Ethernet
port on the back of your Roku player to the back of your router with an Ethernet
cable (not included), and then use your Roku remote to select “Wired” from the
on-screen network options.
•Connect one end to the Ethernet port on the back of your Roku player.

Having trouble completing Guided Setup? Don’t worry. It’s usually an easy fix.

If you cannot see a picture on your TV:
•If you are using HDMI with a home theater receiver, make sure the HDMI cable
from your Roku player is connected to an HDMI-in port on your receiver and
your receiver is connected to your TV via an HDMI input.
•Make sure the video input on your TV or home theater receiver is set to match
the output used with the Roku player. Most TVs have an Input button on the
remote control to change video inputs.
If you cannot connect to your wireless home network during guided setup:
•If you are not getting 3 or more signal-strength bars above your wireless
network, adjust the location of your Roku player and/or wireless router.
•Try to avoid obstructions, like cement walls, between your Roku player and
your wireless router.
•If you have turned o SSID broadcasting on your wireless router, you can
add your network by selecting “My network is not shown” from the “Select
wireless network” screen.
Troubleshooting
Dos and don’ts on where to place your Roku player:
•DO place your player within range of your wireless network.
•DON’T place your player in an enclosed cabinet; it may interfere with the wireless signal.
•DON’T place anything on top of your player; it may cause the player to overheat. Eeeeks.
