My newly purchased Roku stick(from Amazon) is on a TV in the back and the signal from the front room won't reach. SE-1500- Will it boost the signal?

Hi Stan. We agree to the other users. This is a wired switch and you can add this to your network if you want to have more wired devices.

This is a wired internet switch, not a wireless device. It cannot boost wireless coverage.

I did not get any signal at all. I returned it. I tried it on three televisions, including a neighbor. Some people have had very good results I did not.

Peter, I am very confused by my Roku purchase because of my poor computer understanding. I am not qualified to answer your question; only to say I am returning my purchase because I can't utilize it. Good luck, Michael P.s. I would use velco tape instead of the mounting kit and attach it to the back of your TV with the light still showing.

I have a different model of router as well, but it is an Actiontec from Verizon and the signal booster works with it. Just screw off the stick antenna On the router and replace it with the cable from the signal booster,

I have mine connected to a signal amp that I got at Home Depot for 20$. It amps 4 signals and I only have mine connected to 2TV's. both can have different channels at same time

Really can't answer your question - we never got it to boost signal at all. Returned it.

I had such a problem with weak signals and disconnects with both the 2.4 and 5 signals that I returned the Netgear and purchased an ASUS RT-N66U. After a firmware update on the ASUS, I haven't had any problems connecting our phones, computers and Roku boxes to the ASUS.

Not sure. My HDMI carries all my audio from my Roku. IDK if that is helpful. Sorry.

Honestly I don't know, I live on the second floor and I have the advantage of the height. And I also live in Chicago and all the TV stations have pretty good signal. Try it and just return it if is not working ;). Good luck!

You need to have a wireless router in order to use the Roku. You'll need a decent signal in the room that you intend to use it on.

I'm having a problem detecting the signal from my satellite box. It is very slow to turn on and tune the signal. When turned on it goes from the Bravia screen to no signal, audio only, then a flash of the signal then back to no signal then on . I thought it might be the hdmi cable but it's the same cable that was on the previous tv which worked fine. The old tv was a 37 xbr6 which was damaged in shipping.

OK, near a window? In the city? Let me suggest this: In the center pin of your coax plug, unbend a paperclip, carefully insert it into that coax in on your tv and connect a long wire or :conductive" material to it (foil). If you rescan with that in and STILL get nothing, unlikely but may happen, it's your location. If it picks up anything, the antenna's a dud. If it works, gauge what you can get from a homebrew antenna and go up from there. This may not be strong enough to hit your local channels. I know of a 50 mile radius antenna at $60; before you throw in the towel, try the paperclip trick. THe HomeWorx is inexpensive; returns are "meh." Good luck!

Mine is not in the same room either; my router is in the back of the house and I have no trouble at all. I was amazed at the service roku offers.

It requires a specific type of port on your tv. Not an hdmi port!. I have an insignia tv, the box recommended this streaming stick specifically. I use the tv remote with, works great- I love it! But if you are not sure if you tv has this port- I would go with the roku box.

O.K. I can not answer this question but thought maybe I could ask something along this line...I am NOT a tech person so don't laugh at me. What is a Fire/ROKU stick do? Maybe you Kathy can let me know...I get basic cable on it.

The Roku needs to be connected directly to your TV. If you have only one HDMI input on your TV, you can use a splitter.

I tried a 15 footer I had on hand to test my Roku. Worked fine, so I bought a 3 footer from Amazon - also works fine.
