Roku digital media players offer users a pretty versatile platform and today, there are various products in the market from TVs running Roku to set top boxes and plug-in dongles that offer users access to this platform.
As such, Roku is pretty popular as a TV operating system and supports so many popular streaming services natively, making it one of the best entertainment platforms we have today.
There have been issues such as YouTube TV reportedly not working for some Roku users, excessive battery drain on the Roku remotes, just to mention a few.
Now, it is coming to light that there might be another more serious issue afflicting a section of Roku users, an issue rendering these affected users unable to connect their units to Wi-Fi.
According to some of the affected users, their Roku devices suddenly lose Wi-Fi connection and can no longer see any available networks after that.
Those who have managed to get this issue resolved say manually adding Roku’s MAC Address to the Wi-Fi router seems to do the trick.
However, some users are reportedly still facing this issue despite not having messed with their devices’ settings in any way and the above-mentioned workaround doesn’t seem to offer any relief.
Roku, through an employee, has since come out to acknowledge this issue, noting that the same has been forwarded over to the Support team for further consultation with affected users.
So, for affected users, what hope do they have at the moment? Well, there have been a few suggested workarounds to Roku error 003. Many of them are aimed at helping affected users update to the latest firmware in hopes that this addresses the error.
As this issue has been afflicting Roku users from as far back as October 2020, it is time Roku stepped up and offered affected users a working fix.
We shall continue to keep an eye on this and update as and when we get more info so stay tuned to PiunikaWeb.
