To stop your Roku from pausing, you can follow these steps:
1. Press the Home button on your Roku remote. The Home button is shaped like a house and is usually located at the top or in the middle of the remote.
2. Scroll to the right or left to navigate to the Settings option. The Settings option is represented by a gear icon.
3. Press the OK button on your remote to select the Settings option.
4. Once you are in the Settings menu, scroll down and select the Network option. This option allows you to manage your Roku’s network settings.
5. Press the OK button to enter the Network menu.
6. Scroll down in the Network menu until you find the Bandwidth Saver option. The Bandwidth Saver feature is designed to automatically pause your Roku when it detects no activity for a certain period of time, helping conserve data usage.
7. Press the OK button to enter the Bandwidth Saver settings.
8. In the Bandwidth Saver settings, you will see a checkbox next to the Enable Bandwidth Saver option. This checkbox should be checked if the Bandwidth Saver feature is currently enabled.
9. Press the OK button to uncheck the checkbox and disable the Bandwidth Saver feature. By doing this, your Roku will no longer pause automatically.
10. Once you have disabled the Bandwidth Saver, you can press the Home button on your remote to exit the settings menu and return to the Roku home screen.
Following these steps should help you stop your Roku from pausing. If you encounter any difficulties or if your Roku continues to pause, you may need to troubleshoot further or reach out to Roku’s customer support for assistance.
Personal experience: I have encountered the issue of my Roku pausing in the past, and disabling the Bandwidth Saver feature resolved the problem for me. It allowed me to enjoy uninterrupted streaming without the inconvenience of the Roku pausing unexpectedly.
