How To Setup Roku Streaming Stick 4K

Learn the steps to complete the setup process of your Roku by using the instructions given in this article.

1: Connecting Your Streaming Player

The first step is to connect your streaming player. We will plug the USB power cable into your streaming player and keep it coiled in the Velcro wrap so that the cords don’t get caught on anything else.

If your TV doesn’t have a USB power port on the back, we can plug it into a wall using the provided USB power adapter.

2: Plugging in the Roku Stick

Now, my TV has a USB option on the back, so that’s what I will be using. But if you don’t have that USB port on the back of your TV, then we can plug it in using this power adapter. Unwinding a bit of our cord here, we will plug it into our Roku Streaming Stick. The USB type B, the micro USB, will go into the Roku Streaming Stick, and I’ll show you the other end on the back of my TV, where I will plug that in.

3: Selecting the HDMI Port

When I reach the back of my TV, I see I have a USB option. Then, I must select which HDMI port to plug the Roku Stick into. I will move some of these plugs around to have HDMI 1 available for the Roku Streaming Stick. Ensure you note which HDMI port you’re plugging your Roku Streaming Stick into so you know which input to use to set your TV.

4: Using the HDMI Extender (Optional)

If you’re having trouble getting your Roku Streaming Stick to fit into the HDMI port on your TV, you can actually get a free HDMI extender from Roku. Just go to Roku and order one at that web address.

5: Selecting the Input on Your TV

Now that we’re connected to the TV use your TV remote to power it on and select the input source to connect your streaming player. For me, it’s HDMI 1, so that’s the input I’m going to.

6: Pairing the Roku Remote

The next step is pairing the Roku remote. Pull out the battery tab on the back of your remote, and it will pair your streaming player automatically.

7: Selecting Your Language and Wi-Fi Network

Once the remote is paired, the next step is selecting your language. After that, scan for wireless networks, find your Wi-Fi network, and enter the password.

8: Updating Your Roku Device

After connecting to Wi-Fi, your Roku device will check for updates. Let it update to the latest software version before continuing.

9: Activating Your Roku Player

You must activate your Roku player by signing in or creating an account. Enter your email address, check your inbox for the activation email, and follow the instructions.

10: Adding Channels and Personalizing Your Setup

You can personalize your channels and offers or skip this step. You can add apps to your homepage or move them around by clicking the asterisk button on your Roku remote.

Final Adjustments and Customizations

You can customize your homepage further by hiding the recommendations row or resizing tiles for more visibility.
