How do I set up my Roku® Streaming Stick®+?

This article describes the Roku Streaming Stick+ model 3810 in more detail and outlines the setup steps. The device supports 720p HD, 1080p Full HD, 4K Ultra HD (UHD), and 4K Ultra HD HDR (High Dynamic Range). It comes with an Enhanced "point-anywhere" remote control featuring TV power and volume buttons, and voice search.

Note: The power connector is located on the side of the Roku Streaming Stick+. If the power connector is on the end of your device, you have a Roku Streaming Stick and require different setup instructions.

Will the Roku Streaming Stick+ work with my TV?

The Roku Streaming Stick+ is compatible with any television that has an HDMI® connection and connects directly to the TV's HDMI port.

To take advantage of 4K resolution or 4K HDR, you will need a compatible TV. For more information on setting up your Roku player for 4K or 4K HDR, please refer to the relevant guides.

If your Roku Streaming Stick+ does not fit your TV's HDMI port due to space restrictions, a free HDMI extender cable may be obtained.

What is the advanced wireless receiver?

The advanced wireless receiver is an integral part of the USB power cable for your Roku Streaming Stick+. It enables your device to connect to your wireless network and the internet, allowing you to stream movies, TV shows, and more.

This receiver is designed to minimize wireless interference, ensuring a faster and more reliable connection. Power is supplied to your Streaming Stick+ by connecting the advanced wireless receiver to your TV's USB port or, preferably, a wall outlet using the included USB power extender cable and power adapter.

How do I connect my Roku Streaming Stick+?

Follow these steps to connect your Roku Streaming Stick+. Ensure all connections are secure and firmly attached.

Connect your Roku Streaming Stick+ to an available HDMI port on your TV. If you intend to stream in 4K or 4K HDR, select an HDMI 2.0 port that supports HDCP 2.2. Information on identifying such HDMI inputs is available.

If space is an issue, use the provided HDMI extender cable.

Next, connect the USB power cable with the advanced wireless receiver to a power source. This can be your TV's USB port or a wall outlet, using the USB power extender cable and power adapter.

Note: Some TV USB ports may not provide sufficient power for the Streaming Stick+. If you encounter an on-screen warning message, use a wall outlet instead.

Finally, securely attach the advanced wireless receiver to the Roku Streaming Stick+. An improper connection can prevent your device from connecting to your wireless network and the internet.
