Router is connecting my computer - want to stream netflix - using a ROKU to stream - but it keeps telling me that it cannot connect to the internet, even tho my computer is connected. I have tried resetting both the ROKU and the router. How can I get them to work together?

hello:
wifi , is not reliable. use Etherent cable from TV to router ! wins !
you posted TVs to Computers, so will move you.
what TV o TV model stated.
MAC, how is it connected, to your router? all that tells me is the internet works on the mac. as does its browser..
I will assume the TV shows, can not connect to local LAN , errors, (wifi in this case) gee use Ethernet cable.
not netfix login failure
not like me using 3 TVs to netflix, with a 2 TV max same time account.
Also Netflix, Hulu and Vudu all 3 no longer support
old TVs running those old streaming apps with same name.
they do not, (buy ROKU3 , wired)
The went to a far better, streaming protocal your TV does not support, but again, NO TV even stated.
By a long ethernet cable.
no distance from TV to Router stated, nor type of walls between them,(concrete /brick horrible)
WIFI is radio technology at its base) and weak signals.

you skipped test 1;
use ethernet, cable.
this proves the TV works the TV app works and that Netflix, likes all that, with one simple test.
a $10 cable, sold in all computers stores on earth.


NO TV stated, full model on the rear sticker is it.
lots of TV made in 10 years ,even older
and old is bad, in the realm of , Smart screen apps that are relics now.

you sound a little confused, netflix is a streaming service which requires a internet connection most people use a wireless internet connection, a wired connection would work better, netflix can be used on pc or a roku box and even some tablets. silverlight is a browser plug in for a pc. netflix basically streams movies and tv shows using a internet connection.

That Roku box you are using is very old so netflix may not be supported anymore. It also could be your internet connection it could be to slow to connect to netflix if so you may won't to try to connect your Roku player directy into your router or moden with a inthernet cable if possible If you are using wifi you may have to move the Roku as close to the Router as possible maybe its not getting a strong signal. One thing to is that if multiple people are on the internet at the same time it can slow down the internet.

check your network from the computer, the roku should be listed as connected to the network map. If not, then your wifi or wired connection to your router is disconnected.

Do you have an Internet connection? Needs to be close to router to receive WiFi signal. Would have had to login in to service account on Roku device to get NetFlixs

You need a internet capable device a wwii blueray player or plug your computer into your tv .

If your TV has a Netflix app installed, you simply need to connect your TV to the network either with an ethernet cable or wirelessly.

If your TV does not have internet connectivity, you must connect a device that allows you to stream Netflix (like a PS3, Wii, Roku, Blu-ray player or even a laptop). That device must connected to your home router (wired or wirelessly).

This is a problem with the connection not the Roku. Also things that can effect this is now many Movies you have in your Netflix Instant Que. Deleted some of the Instant Que movies and reboot the Roku. See if this will FixYa up.

There are multiple ways to stream Netflix over a high speed internet connection. You will need a device to run the Netflix streaming - your choices are Playstation3, Wii, Xbox, Tivo Premiere, or a Roku box. You could potentially use a computer connected to your TV to stream it as well, but the computer would need the appropriate outputs to hook up to your TV.
