What\u2019s Causing Roku Error 0099?\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned above, error 009 Roku generally indicates that your Roku device can\u2019t connect to the internet, but what\u2019s causing the issue? There could be any number of things going on, from a problem with your router to a blocked Wi-Fi signal or damaged cable. Below, we\u2019ll look at how to figure out what\u2019s responsible for Roku error 009 and how to fix the problem, depending on what\u2019s gone wrong.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Check Your Other Devices\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The best thing to do first is check to see if your other devices are connected to your home network (whether wireless or wired). If your phone and tablet are connected, that\u2019s an indication the issue is with your Roku device, not your internet connection. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Check Your Roku\u2019s Internet Connection\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can check if your Roku device connects to the internet in just a few quick steps. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. From the Home Screen, go to Settings <\/span>> Network <\/span>> Check Connection<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Hit Select, <\/span>and your device will automatically check your connection to the internet.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Assuming your connection works normally, you should see a screen confirming your connection check was successful.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
      \n
      \"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

      3. Try Restarting Your Modem <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      If your device isn\u2019t connecting to the internet following the above test, restart your modem to see if that solves the issue. Turn it off, give it a few seconds, turn it on again, then wait a few minutes before rerunning the above connection check.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      4. Check Your Cables <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      It\u2019s also a good idea to check your internet and power cables to ensure they\u2019re not damaged. A damaged cable, like one that pets have chewed, could easily lead to connection issues. Or it may be that a cable has come loose without you realizing it.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      5. Restart your Roku <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      If restarting your modem hasn\u2019t helped, try restarting your Roku device to see if that eliminates Roku error 009. Turning a device off and then on again is good practice when experiencing issues. Hopefully, once your Roku device restarts, error 009 Roku will be a thing of the past.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      6. Switch to a Different App <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      It might be that the specific app you\u2019re using on your Roku device is experiencing issues and causing Roku error code 009. Try switching to a different streaming app and see if the error persists. You could also go to Twitter and check if specific services are down or use a site like Downdetector<\/a> to see if there are any current issues.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      7. Try a Wired Connection <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      If your Roku doesn\u2019t seem to connect via Wi-Fi, use an ethernet cable for a wired connection and see if that gets rid of the error code. You\u2019ll usually enjoy faster speeds and a more stable connection this way too.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      8. Reset Your Roku\u2019s Network Connection <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Try a network connection reset on your device to see if that helps solve the problem. Here\u2019s how to do that:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Go to Settings <\/span>> System <\/span>> Advanced System Settings<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Select Network Connection Reset<\/span> > Reset Connection<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n
        \"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
          \n
        1. This erases all your internet connection data, so you\u2019ll need to re-enter your Wi-Fi network details and run a connection check to see if the issue is resolved.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. You could also try connecting your Roku device to another network, if one is available, to see if this fixes things.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          9. Clear the Cache\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          You can clear the cache on your Roku to improve its performance and eliminate any troublesome issues like Roku error code 009. You\u2019ll need your Roku remote:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Press Home <\/span>five times on the remote, Up <\/span>once, Rewind <\/span>twice, then Fast Forward<\/span> twice.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. This automatically clears your Roku\u2019s cache, which will take a few minutes to complete.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. It\u2019s a good idea to restart your Roku device once the cache has been cleared.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
            \n
            \"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

            10. Speak to your ISP\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            If you\u2019re trying to use your Roku device in a public place, such as a hotel or school, or connecting to free public Wi-Fi, you might experience issues. That\u2019s because these internet connections may limit the use of streaming devices and services, so you might be unable to connect your Roku to the internet.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            11. Perform a Roku Factory Reset\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            As a last resort, you could try factory resetting your Roku<\/a>. Note that this will delete all your data and preferences from your Roku device, so it will be in an as-new state as it was when you purchased it. Ensure you note your Roku account details, as you\u2019ll need these to log back in once your device restarts.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Hopefully, one of the above fixes has banished Roku error 009, and you can now use your Roku device normally. However, if the issue persists and you still see error 009 Roku, this is a great time to contact Roku support<\/a> for advice. They should be able to help you fix the issue or let you know if you\u2019ll need to replace your device.\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
