Setting up your Roku Express

  •  

Connect to the internet

Choose your wireless network from the list of available networks and enter your password. This is often the same network you use to connect your computer or smartphone to the internet. If you do not see your network, select Scan again to see all networks. For more assistance, see help finding your wireless network and password.

If you want to see your password as you type, choose Show password. This can help prevent entering the wrong password. Remember, passwords are case-sensitive. Use the shift button shift key on Roku on-screen keyboard on the on-screen keyboard to enter a capital letter.

Once you enter your password and select Connect, your device will automatically connect to the internet. Alternatively, you can get more help if you are unable to connect to your wireless network.

Configure display settings

Select Set display type and let your streaming player auto detect the best display resolution so you do not have to manually configure the settings. To change the display type at a later time, go to Settings > Display type.

  • Note: This step may be done automatically by your device. If this step is not shown during setup, your device was able to do this step automatically for you.
