Note
:
Some networks, such as those often found in dorm rooms, hotels, and other public places, may
require you to read and agree to terms, enter a code, or provide identifying information before letting
you connect to the Internet. If the Roku TV detects that you are connecting to such a network, it prompts
you through the connection process using your compatible smartphone or tablet to provide the needed
information. For more information, see “

see your wireless network name in the list, you might need to adjust the location of your wireless
router or the TV, turn on your router, or make other changes. When everything is ready, select
Scan
again
to see if your network name now appears in the list.
o
Scan again to see all networks

it initially listed. If you don’t see your wireless network name in the list, this option displays the com-
plete list. If you still don’t see your network name, you might have your router configured to provide
wireless service as a “private network.”
Note
:
Highlighting either of these options displays an informational panel with the unique media
access control (MAC) address of your Roku TV. You will need the MAC address if your wireless router
is configured to use MAC address filtering.

– If your wireless network name is hidden, it won’t appear in the list. Select
Private network

network name, you can find the name (also called SSID) on a label on the router.
