Insignia Roku TV won’t Connect to WiFi – How to fix?
Fix#1: Move the Router closer to the Roku TV
One of the first things you should try doing is moving the router closer to your Roku TV.
Often, the issue occurs due to your Roku TV not being able to maintain a reasonable signal strength of the Wi-Fi. For this reason, it’s important that the router is placed as close as possible.
Move the router closer to your Roku Tv and see if the TV is able to connect to Wi-Fi.
Fix#2: Reset the Router
Resetting the router often gets rid of any glitches that may be causing connectivity issues. To reset your Wi-fi router follow these steps:
- Plug the router into a power socket
- Find the reset button on the back side of the router. It will be a tiny hole labelled as ‘Reset’
- Insert a pin or paperclip in the hole and hold for 30 seconds
- Release the button and wait for the router to restart.
This will reset your router. Now, connect your Insignia Roku TV to your newly reset router to see if it works.
Fix#3: Power Cycle your Roku TV
Power cycling is often a great option when an electronic device is experiencing a software glitch. All you need to do is:
- Turn off your Insignia Roku TV
- Unplug it from the socket
- Wait for 30 seconds
- Plug the TV back into the power socket
- Turn on your TV and check if the problem has gone away.

If even after updating the Software of your Roku TV, the problem still exists, you need to factory reset the TV.
Factory reset gets rid of all the previously saved settings and data. It might be possible that your Insignia Roku TV won’t connect to WiFI due to a saved setting. Factory resetting the TV will give it a completely new start. To reset your Insignia Roku TV, follow these steps:

Fix#6: Call Insignia Support or a Technician
If nothing worked for your TV, chances are high that it is a hardware failure. For this reason, you should either call a technician or Insignia Support to check the TV. It might be possible that the Network card of the TV will be replaced which costs lesser than buying a new TV.
Whatever the case, the technician or support team will guide you through.
