Disconnecting Roku TV from WiFi: A Simple Guide

For a better streaming experience, your Roku device should be connected to a strong internet. It’s better to switch to a good internet service if you are experiencing poor service from the current ISP. In order to connect your Roku streaming TV to a new internet provider, you should disconnect your Roku TV from the WiFi network of the previously connected service.

The simplest method to remove the Roku TV from the WiFi is to reset the network connection under the Roku TV settings tab.

The procedure is the same if you are using a Roku TV stick, box, or smart TV.

So, let’s get started.

How to disconnect Roku TV from WiFi?

• Turn on your Roku TV and then select the Settings option from the Home screen
• Navigate to the option System and click on it
• Select the Advanced system settings option
• Then select the Network connection reset option
• Locate the Reset connection option and click on it

Wait for a few seconds until the system resets your connected WiFi network.

Resetting your network connection will reset both your WiFi (wireless) and the wired network SSID settings. After the disconnection completes, your TV will restart.

Now you can register your Roku TV on another strong and stable WiFi network and enjoy media streaming without any buffering issues.

How to disconnect WiFi on Roku TV without a remote control?

If you lost your original Roku TV remote control, don’t worry. We can make use of Roku mobile app to navigate through the network reset option to disconnect from the connected wireless network.

But there is a problem when you disconnect your device from WiFi when you don’t have an original remote control. It’ll become difficult to make a connection with your new WiFi.

Still, if you want the method, then follow the instructions.

I know your TV or device is already connected to a WiFi network. Connect your smartphone to the same WiFi.

Then download and install Roku mobile app and log in with your username and password.

At bottom of the app, you can see a tab named devices where it’ll show all the connected Roku devices.

Select the connected device from there and then select the Remote option.

Now you can simply control the connected TV’s settings using the Roku mobile app.

Follow the settings options that I mentioned in the first section to disconnect the Roku TV from WiFi without a physical remote control.

Settings >> Advanced system settings>> Network connection reset >> Reset >> OK

Once you disconnect the Roku TV from a wireless network, all the saved SSID and passwords will be erased. To connect a WiFi to the device even if it is the same or another network, you should know the SSID and password.

Go to the settings tab, select choose the network tab, then select wireless. Give the SSID and password to get connected.
