How To Setup Roku?

Setting up Roku involves different steps, which you need to perform diligently, or else, be ready to experience problems at the time of streaming content through Roku.

Step 1: Connect the Roku player to your TV

The design of the Roku player allows it to work with any television that supports an HDMI connection. Although, it is recommended to use a high-speed HDMI cable while connecting your Roku streaming player to the TV, as that will provide a much better video quality.

Roku can also be connected to older televisions, however, the type of cables required would be different, but the connection can certainly be made. Some Roku players come with a standard composite video connection alongside an HDMI connection, which allows a connection between the device and an old TV.

Step 2: Setting up a Roku device

Start with connecting your Roku device to the TV using a High-Speed HDMI cable or composite cables (for older TV sets).

If you wish to connect your Roku to the internet through a wired connection, then connect both, Roku as well as your router with an Ethernet cable. There will be an Ethernet port given on your Roku player, so connect the cable into that port with another end of the cable connected on the router.

Now, it’s time to power up the Roku player, so connect the power connector to the device and connect the power adapter to the wall outlet. This was all about Roku installation process.

Note: Select Roku devices can be powered by connecting them into the USB port on the TV, but then, some USB ports don’t charge devices. So, you will have to figure this out yourself.

Now, take your Roku remote and insert new batteries by opening the battery cover. Check if the correct TV input is selected on the TV or not. The HDMI port on which you have connected your Roku player needs to be selected on the TV in order to watch anything. If the correct input is selected, then you will see the Roku logo on the TV screen after the device powers on. You can now make changes to the settings of your Roku through the remote. Help is available if your Roku remote not working.

Step 3: Going through Guided Setup

   • The moment your Roku device turns on, the first screen that you are going to see is related to ‘choose a language’. The language you select is going to be the one in which you all text and dialog of the content that you stream through Roku will be displayed.
   • Scroll up and down the list followed by pressing ‘OK’ button on the Roku remote in order to select a language.

      • From the available list of networks, select your wireless networks and enter its password. The network you’ve chosen must be the same where your computer and/or smartphone is connected. In case, you don’t see your network, then scan again. If you can’t connect Roku to internet, then take the assistance of Roku support.
      • If you think that the password you are entering is wrong, then you can choose ‘Show Password’ option in order to take a look as to whether the password you are typing is correct or not. If your network’s password is case-sensitive, then use the ‘Shift’ button on the on-screen keyboard to type a capital letter.
      • After entering the password, select ‘Connect’, and your Roku device will automatically connect to the internet. If the device not connecting to the internet, then take Roku help.
   2. Wait until Roku downloads the latest software
      • As soon as Roku connects to the internet, it is going to update its software.

2. Set the display type
3. The HDMI connection will be analyzed by the device in order to determine the best display resolution. With this, you don’t have to get into the hassle of choosing the display resolution manually. If you don’t wish to choose the best display resolution now, then you can do it later. Just go to ‘Settings’ and then, ‘Display Type’.
