Kimmy - try pulling the power plug at the back of the roku out for about 30 seconds then put it back in and wait 5 minutes for roku to initialize and try watching a show again.

SOURCE: lost wireless ntework connection all of a sudden?!

First of all open up your wireless utility and look at your signal strength. it should be at least -60dbm. Then what i want you to do is to find out what channels people are using around you (most Access points default to 6) if the majority of the people are using 6 switch yours to 1 or 11. Whatever channel is being used the most you change youes from that one. This should get you going again. If you have other issue get your signal strength and we'll see what is going on signal wise.

SOURCE: wirless connection

I think you asked this twice, but here is my suggestion:

this information is setup at the router (Access Point) and you will need to get the information from there.. Although there are ways to 'hack' this information, I will not tell you how to do this here, as we do not want to enable 'hackers'...

You need to hard wire the computer to the Access Point and enter the configuration of the device.. within it, you will find the SSID (name of the wifi network connection) and the type of encryption (WEP, WAP, etc.). From this page, you can discover the Passphrase or Encryped Password, which will allow you to access the WiFi connection.

SOURCE: DV4000 cant connect to wireless network

HP bought several motherboards from the same company in China. These boards work for about 15 months then they can't find the wireless card. This is caused by a defect in the North Bridge chip overheating over time. This chip is not replaceable at the local level. You can send it back to HP for a replacement and sometimes they will charge you $300 - $500, or you can just replace the motherboard yourself. Check with them first since there is an ungoing lawsuit regarding these boards. Either way the only fix is to replace the motherboard. This is also a problem for the dv6000 and the dv9000 models. HP knows that 30% of these will fail.

Mike

SOURCE: D-Link DIR-628 wireless connection flickering

You are getting some kind of elecrical/wireless interference. This is difficult to trace. Have you noticed any electrical interference on the TV screen when the wireless connections drops off?
It could be as simple as someone using an arc welder in your area.
Or a neighbour heating up something in their microwave oven (this oven can be faulty and is leaking microwave energy).
If you can identify the source of interference then you may find a solution.
There are a few things you can try.
Get a surge protection power board and connect your computer equipment and wireless router to this power board.
You can configure the wireless router to a different channel, one that is not used by your neighbours so that the wireless signal won't interfer with each other.
Have a look at the signal strength to your computer, if it is weak then move the router away from walls and/or raise the router to a higher location to improve the signal strength.
I hope this info helps you fix your problems.

Testimonial: "switching the channel seemed to work, thanks for the help "

You also need to click on the receiver button. After the receiver button is clicked then you would need to click the mouse button located under the mouse. If all of this was done try replacing the batteries again with a new set of batteries. I've seen new batteries not work before that has died while sitting in it's package.

BUFFERING SLOW, THEN PICTURE COMES THEN DROPS.

You probably have a slow internet connection. It is recommended that you have a minimum 25/25 Mbps connection from your provider. If you do then the streaming stick might be too far from your wireless router. Try to move the router closer to the Streaming Stick if possible. The best way to watch streaming video is with a wired ethernet connection with a Roku 3 or other wired device. Good Luck!

I was just watching Roku and it just stopped saying "can't connect to the wireless network. Does anyone know what is wrong? I'm using my internet now.

Yes, you are using the Internet, but with other devices. Probably Roku lost its connection to WiFi. Try to reconnect it.

Roku error code 009 network name changed

The router is trying to connect to a network and using the name you told it to use. But that network has changed its name. Login to the Roku as admin and change the network name to the correct one.
