Here are 5 steps to fix this frustrating error code.

1. Check Your Internet Connection

The first thing to do is make sure that your internet isn’t down. Here are a few things to try:

1. Check other devices. Try loading a webpage on another device like your Android phone or PC — if it loads quickly, your internet itself likely isn’t at fault. If it doesn’t load, your internet may be down. Contact your internet service provider (ISP) to find out what’s going on.
2. Reboot your modem. Resetting your wireless router can resolve many problems with your Wi-Fi connection and can be a good thing to do periodically.
3. Rule out your network. Try disconnecting and reconnecting your Roku device from the Wi-Fi network. Likewise, try connecting it to a different network to see if it’s the network itself causing the problem.
4. Improve signal strength. If you think the error is being caused by a poor internet signal, you should try moving your router and Roku device closer together. You could also invest in a Wi-Fi extender to get additional reach out of your wireless network.
