When you reconnect the device to power?{1\888\991\2422}? it can start up again with the settings that were already saved?{1\888\991\2422}?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]People sometimes confuse unplugging with resetting because both actions cause the Roku device to restart?{1\888\991\2422}? However?{1\888\991\2422}? a restart is temporary?{1\888\991\2422}? while a factory reset returns the device to its initial setup state?{1\888\991\2422}?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]If your Roku is frozen?{1\888\991\2422}? not responding correctly?{1\888\991\2422}? or experiencing a temporary software issue?{1\888\991\2422}? unplugging it for a short period and reconnecting it can be a useful troubleshooting step?{1\888\991\2422}?

  [font=Arial, sans-serif]What Happens When You Unplug a Roku?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]When you unplug a Roku streaming player or compatible Roku device?{1\888\991\2422}? the device loses power and shuts down?{1\888\991\2422}? Any temporary software processes that were running are stopped?{1\888\991\2422}? When you plug it back in?{1\888\991\2422}? the device starts its normal boot process?{1\888\991\2422}?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]Your saved configuration is generally retained?{1\888\991\2422}? This means you should not normally have to enter your Wi-Fi password?{1\888\991\2422}? sign back into every application?{1\888\991\2422}? or reconnect your Roku account simply because you unplugged the device?{1\888\991\2422}?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]The exact behavior can vary depending on the Roku model and whether you are using a standalone Roku streaming player?{1\888\991\2422}? Roku TV?{1\888\991\2422}? or another Roku-powered device?{1\888\991\2422}?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]Is Unplugging Roku the Same as Restarting It?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]Unplugging a Roku and restarting it through the system menu can accomplish a similar basic goal: restarting the device?{1\888\991\2422}? However?{1\888\991\2422}? they are not exactly the same process?{1\888\991\2422}?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]If your Roku is responding normally?{1\888\991\2422}? using the built-in restart option can be a convenient way to restart the operating system?{1\888\991\2422}? If the Roku is frozen and you cannot navigate the menus?{1\888\991\2422}? unplugging the device may be an alternative?{1\888\991\2422}?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]When you unplug the device?{1\888\991\2422}? allow enough time for it to fully power down before reconnecting it?{1\888\991\2422}? Once it starts again?{1\888\991\2422}? give it a moment to reconnect to your network and load the installed applications?{1\888\991\2422}?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]Does Unplugging Roku Erase Apps?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]Normally?{1\888\991\2422}? unplugging a Roku does not remove your installed channels or applications?{1\888\991\2422}? Your Roku account and device configuration are generally retained after a simple power cycle?{1\888\991\2422}?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]If applications disappear after you reconnect the device?{1\888\991\2422}? there may be another issue involved?{1\888\991\2422}? such as an account change?{1\888\991\2422}? software problem?{1\888\991\2422}? or factory reset?{1\888\991\2422}? Check that the Roku is still linked to the correct account?{1\888\991\2422}?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]If you recently performed a factory reset?{1\888\991\2422}? however?{1\888\991\2422}? you should expect the device to require setup again?{1\888\991\2422}?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]Does Unplugging Roku Erase Wi-Fi Settings?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]A normal power cycle generally does not erase your saved Wi-Fi information?{1\888\991\2422}? After reconnecting the Roku to power?{1\888\991\2422}? it should attempt to reconnect to the previously configured network?{1\888\991\2422}?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]If the Roku asks you to select a Wi-Fi network and enter a password again?{1\888\991\2422}? check whether the device was actually reset or whether there has been a change to your home network?{1\888\991\2422}?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]Changes to your router?{1\888\991\2422}? Wi-Fi name?{1\888\991\2422}? password?{1\888\991\2422}? or network configuration can also require you to reconnect the Roku?{1\888\991\2422}?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]What Is a Factory Reset on Roku?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]A factory reset is much more significant than unplugging the device?{1\888\991\2422}? It is intended to return the Roku to its original factory state?{1\888\991\2422}? This can remove account information?{1\888\991\2422}? network settings?{1\888\991\2422}? installed channels?{1\888\991\2422}? and other customized settings?{1\888\991\2422}?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]After a factory reset?{1\888\991\2422}? you may need to complete the Roku setup process again?{1\888\991\2422}? connect the device to Wi-Fi?{1\888\991\2422}? sign in or link it to a Roku account?{1\888\991\2422}? and reinstall or reconfigure services?{1\888\991\2422}?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]Because a factory reset can erase your settings?{1\888\991\2422}? it should generally be used when you specifically need to start over or prepare the device for another person?{1\888\991\2422}?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]When Should I Unplug My Roku?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]Unplugging your Roku can be useful when the device is frozen?{1\888\991\2422}? an application is not responding?{1\888\991\2422}? the device is experiencing a temporary network-related problem?{1\888\991\2422}? or the system appears to be behaving unusually?{1\888\991\2422}?[/font]

  [font=Arial, sans-serif]However?{1\888\991\2422}? unplugging should not be considered a permanent solution for recurring problems?{1\888\991\2422}? If the same issue happens repeatedly?{1\888\991\2422}? investigate the underlying cause?{1\888\991\2422}?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]How Long Should I Unplug My Roku?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]For a basic power cycle?{1\888\991\2422}? unplugging the Roku for a short period before reconnecting it is generally sufficient?{1\888\991\2422}? Once you plug the device back in?{1\888\991\2422}? allow it to boot completely?{1\888\991\2422}?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]If you are troubleshooting a connection issue?{1\888\991\2422}? you can also restart your router or gateway?{1\888\991\2422}? Wait for the network equipment to finish reconnecting before testing the Roku again?{1\888\991\2422}?[/font]
  [font=Arial, sans-serif]There is usually no need to leave a Roku unplugged for an extended period simply to perform a normal restart?{1\888\991\2422}?[/font]

  [font=Arial, sans-serif]Next?{1\888\991\2422}? check the internet connection?{1\888\991\2422}? Try another device on the same Wi-Fi network to determine whether the network is working?{1\888\991\2422}?[/font]
