If your Roku isn't working, start by checking your internet connection and ensure your device is properly connected to Wi-Fi. Then, try a system restart either from the Settings menu or by unplugging the device for a few seconds before plugging it back in. If issues persist, check for system updates under Settings > System > System Update. A factory reset may be necessary as a last resort, but be aware that this will erase all your settings and preferences.
