How to Find Your Roku IP Address
Are you experiencing issues with your Roku device, such as network connectivity problems or stuck menus? Don’t worry, in this article, we’ll guide you through the simple process of finding your Roku’s IP address.
Why is my Roku device connected to my network?
Before we dive into the steps to find your Roku’s IP address, let’s quickly cover the basics. A Roku device is connected to your network through a specific IP address. This IP address is usually static or dynamic, depending on your network setup. To find your Roku’s IP address, you need to know your router’s IP address and the Roku’s IP address relationship.
How to find your router’s IP address
- Go to your router’s web interface (usually by typing its IP address in a web browser) and navigate to Administration or IP Settings.
- Look for the Static DNS or DHCP Server section and select Static DNS.
- Enter the Roku’s default IP address (usually 195.0.51.13) and click Apply.
| Router Model | Static DNS | DHCP Server |
|---|---|---|
| Roku Device | Roku default IP address | Default DHCP server IP address |
