Common questions
Why do I need to create a Roku account?
Before you can start streaming, channels must be downloaded and installed
on your streaming player. To accomplish this, your streaming player must be
linked to a Roku account. With a Roku account, not only can you add channels
from the Roku Channel Store, but you can also manage your subscriptions, view
your purchase history, and update payment method. For more information, visit

What should I do if my streaming player is not connecting to my wireless
network?
Your streaming player connects to your wireless network the same as your
laptop or smartphone. If these other devices can access the internet, then your
streaming player should be able to do the same. Make sure to select the same
network name, and enter the same password you use with the other devices.
Remember that passwords are case-sensitive and easy to enter incorrectly. For

Can I take my Roku streaming player with me when I travel?
Yes. You can bring your streaming player and watch your favorite entertainment when
you travel. Remember to also bring the power adapter, remote and any cables you
use to connect your streaming player at home, and make sure your destination has a
good internet connection. You will also need a computer or smartphone with wireless
capabilities and a web browser to help get your streaming player connected to the
network. For more details, visit go.roku.com/travelwithroku
