I have created this document that will step you through the setup and also enter your password for your network. Hope this helps you.

Follow these steps to setup your Roku player 1. Connect to your TV

  • Use a HDMI cable. Connect one end to the HDMI port of the Roku player, and the other end to an available HDMI input on your TV.
  • Make note of the TV input used.
2. Power up key components
  • Open the battery compartment and carefully insert the provided batteries into the slots, following the correct battery orientation.
  • Power up the Roku player by connecting the provided power adapter to the Roku player and to an available wall outlet.
  • Turn on your TV and select the correct TV input.
3. Connect to your network
  • If you are using a wireless network, select "Wireless" as your network connection:
  • Select your network from the list of available networks.
  • Enter your wireless network password when prompted. (Note: passwords are case-sensitive)
  • If you are using an Ethernet wired connection, select "Wired (Ethernet)" as your network connection.
4. Complete guided setup
  • Get the latest software
  • Your Roku player will let you know if there is a software update available, and will restart after the update
    is complete.
  • Link your Roku player from any Internet browser
  • A link code should be displayed on the TV screen after restart
  • Using an Internet browser, follow the instructions to link your Roku player to a new or an existing Roku account.

When i had to change modem my roku will not work.

If your attempting to connect your Roku Streaming Player to a new modem/router, which has wireless capabilities, and you know the network password... You can simply connect your Roku device through the on-screen menu of your device. Just scroll down to the settings choice of the onscreen menu of your Roku device on your Television. The first choice under "Settings" should be "Network," and the next two choices when you click on Network will be "Wireless," and " Wired."
If you're connecting using an either-net cable, make sure the Ethernet cable is connected to both to Your Roku device, and modem/router, then Choose "Wired," and Roku should connect to the Modem/Router.
If you choose to connect to the network wirelessly, choose "Wireless."
Wireless will give you the current status of any connection, and at this point you can choose "Set up new WiFi connection." There you will find an option to scan for all available, or visible, wireless networks. After scanning you will get a list of visible WiFi networks, and if they're "Open" or "Secured." Your network will most likely be the strongest signal, and first in the list. When you choose your network, you will be asked to enter the network password... When done, hit connect/enter...
If your network is secured, and you don't know the password, let me know which model modem you have, and I should be able to walk you through obtaining, or resetting the password.

After i enter my code i don;t know what to do next

Setting your roku device is very easy. With roku setup, you will be able to enjoy your favorite movies, TV shows, songs, etc. Basically It is a series of random numbers that will be shown on your TV screen when you will connect your Roku device to TV. All you just need to visit roku com link web address and enter the Roku Activation Code. Now, you can start to watch Hulu, Netflix, HBO, TBS, TNT and other channels.

All network connections are checked but can't connect to Roku receive error message code 011

Please try unplugging the Roku from the electric outlet for 5 minutes, then plug it back and try again.

If no luck, please try resetting the Roku pushing the reset hole on the back or bottom of the Roku for 20 seconds (the Roku must be turned on), and then after the 20 seconds release it and wait for it to restart. It may take like 3 or 5 minutes to restart after the reset.

Then please follow the steps below from your ROKU:
1- Go to the Settings menu, then click "Network"

2- Then you need to select "repeat guided setup"

3- Select the name of your wireless network.

4- Then if prompted, enter the password XXXXX your wireless network. That's it!, it should work now.

If you get an error message here, then probably you are entering the wrong network password. Do you know your wireless network password?

My new roku 2 will not connect to internet my wireless router is a dlink dir 615 and I know I am using the correct password

Upgrade to an ethernet cable connection between the router and the Roku. There is a slot on the side of the Roku box for it. This should enable you to enter the password- and give you a more stable streaming experience
