Restarting your Roku device can help with temporary and frequent issues such as loading, app crashes, or any power malfunctions. Restarting the Roku prevents background apps from any internet users that might be causing problems with the Spectrum app.

Uninstalling and installing the Spectrum application might help the app work well if you’re experiencing issues like glitches or frequently showing errors in streaming. Reinstallation of the app removes the app’s built-in cache and resets the memory.

Ensure that you have an active and stable internet connection on the Roku device, without which you might experience problems streaming the Spectrum. Try restarting your modem or router to ensure that there aren’t any issues or hindrances with your internet and that it has sufficient signal strength to function properly.

5. Update Roku device

You should check for any available updates and download and install them. Sometimes, it’s possible that your Roku device has outdated Roku firmware, and it may need an update which might help fix the issue.

6. Check if your Location is Right

Ensure that the Region in your Roku is similar to the Region of your IP address. The country needs to be the same in the Roku streaming device, Spectrum app, and router. If your location is not set right, it might also cause problems.

  1. One additional recommendation of your Spectrum App continues to freeze up… get to Settings inside the Spectrum App and Sign Out the App then sign in with your Spectrum Mobile User Name and Password. Then restart your modem, router and Roku box.

    Took me 2 hours to figure that one out.

  2. Called Spectrum for fix of problem. I have Spectrum modem and my own Asus router. Was told that fix was:
    1. Unplug power from both modem and router.
    2. Restart modem and wait for it reset…minute or two usually.
    3. Restart router and wait for it reset.
    This took care of the problem.
