Set Up Your Roku in a Hotel or Dorm
The Roku Hotel & Dorn Connect feature makes it possible to set up your Roku and connect it to Wi-Fi without signing in from a web browser. Here’s how it works:
Connect Your Roku Using a Mobile Hotspot
If you can’t connect your Roku using the Hotel & Dorm Connect feature, there’s a workaround. Create a mobile hotspot with your smartphone, tablet, or laptop, and use it to connect your Roku to the internet.
Before Traveling With Your Roku
Before you arrive, call ahead and confirm that your destination provides free Wi-Fi. Make sure it’s OK to connect more than one device to the location’s network, as you’ll be using your laptop or mobile device as well as your Roku. If you use a Roku streaming stick or box, make sure the provided TV has an available and accessible HDMI connection. Find out if the hotel or dorm imposes daily, weekly, or monthly data caps. Finally, make sure to obtain the correct Wi-Fi network name and password.
