The most common amongst them is the issue related to the activation code of the Roku remote. So, let us discover how to resolve such problems and understand the steps for future benefits.

 ROKU ACTIVATION STEPS IN BRIEF

For activating your Roku streaming player or Roku account setup, it should be linked to a Roku account in the first place. Your Roku account carries information about the channels and devices you own as well as your settings and personal preferences. The activation steps that follows involves the following steps:

      First of all, you need to make sure that Roku doesn't charge any amount for device activation.

     Next, during the activation process, you will be required to visit the website url roku.com/link from your laptop or smartphone and enter the link code displayed on your Roku device, e.g., "RD23G". 


HOW TO RESOLVE COMMON ERRORS RELATING TO ACTIVATION CODE

 Error in Code Activation Process:

     You often get an error after entering the link code. If that occurs, try entering the code once more. We are suggesting this because sometimes it so happens that you might have committed a typing error, or there may have been some temporary network issues or system error in the first try.

     If the problem persists, you may try the following steps:

      Go back to your Roku device and press the Star (*) button on your Roku remote. After that, select the option 'Get a new code.'

     Once you see the new link code, once again, go back to the website roku.com/link and enter the code. 

 

Device Stuck on Link Code Screen

     The completion of the activation process may take some time. So, you must wait for a while for the process to complete smoothly. However, sometimes it happens that the Roku device continues to display the screen containing the link code and doesn't slide further. In such a case, you can try the following steps:

 

     Firstly, you should ensure that you have completed all the earlier steps mentioned on the Roku website for activating your Roku device.

     If you find the "Error 001" and the message "Not Connected" displayed on your TV screen, it means that your Roku device isn't connected to a stable network or has lost an existing connectivity. In such a case, try the given steps.

 

     Firstly, select the ‘Try Again’ option.

     If that doesn't work at all, you may check your network settings by visiting the settings menu on your Roku device. If your wireless signal strength or speed is poor or below average, you will receive onscreen instructions to resolve the problem.

     You can further resolve the connectivity issues by entering the correct name and password for your wireless device. Then check whether you can launch a public website using your router.

     If there's a problem with the wireless signal strength, restart your Roku device and router
