Streaming Device Won't Connect to Wi-Fi? Try This
A device that won't join your network at all is usually a quick fix once you work through the basics.
A streaming device that can't connect to Wi-Fi at all is frustrating, but the cause is almost always one of a small handful of common issues.
Steps to try in order
- Double-check the Wi-Fi password was entered correctly, including capitalization
- Restart your router, then the streaming device
- Move the device temporarily closer to the router to rule out signal strength
- Confirm the network you're selecting is actually the right one, especially in homes with more than one
If it connects but drops repeatedly
That's usually a signal strength or interference issue rather than a one-time connection failure — see our guides on router placement and reducing Wi-Fi interference.
If nothing works
A factory reset of the streaming device is usually the next step, or contact support if you're unsure how to do that safely.
