Roku Streaming Stick+ set up

Background

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

Note: The power connector is located on the side of the Roku Streaming Stick+ (see below). If the power connector is located on the end of your device, you have a Roku Streaming Stick and it requires a specific set of instructions for setup.

Will the Roku Streaming Stick+ work with my TV?

Your Roku Streaming Stick+ will work with any television with an HDMI® connection and connects directly to the TV’s HDMI port.

Parts Guide

However, you will not be able to take advantage of 4K resolution without a 4K compatible TV, or 4K HDR without a 4K HDR compatible TV. A compatible television is not the only requirement to stream movies and TV shows in 4K or 4K HDR; learn more about setting up your Roku player for 4K or setting up your Roku player for 4K HDR.

If your Roku Streaming Stick+ will not fit in your TV’s HDMI port, then you may wish to get a free HDMI extender cable.

What is the advanced wireless receiver?

The advanced wireless receiver is part of the USB power cable that must be attached to your Roku Streaming Stick+. It allows your Roku Streaming Stick+ to connect your wireless network and the internet so you can stream movies, TV shows and more.

Advanced Wireless Receiver

The advanced wireless receiver is designed to reduce wireless interference providing a faster and more reliable connection. Power is provided to your Streaming Stick+ by connecting the advanced wireless receiver to the USB port on your TV, or preferably, a wall outlet (when used with the included USB power extender cable and power adapter).

How do I connect my Roku Streaming Stick+?

Use the diagrams below as a guide to help connect your Roku Streaming Stick+. Make sure all connections are secure and firmly attached.

Connection Diagram

To get started, connect your Roku Streaming Stick+ to an available HDMI port on your TV. If you plan to stream movies and TV shows in 4K or 4K HDR, remember to select an HDMI 2.0 port that supports HDCP 2.2. Learn what to look for when trying to identify an HDMI input that supports HDCP 2.2.

If your Roku Streaming Stick+ will not easily connect to the HDMI port on your TV due to space restrictions, then you may wish to get a free HDMI extender cable.

Next, plug the USB power cable with advanced wireless receiver into a suitable power source – either the USB port on your TV, or preferably, a wall outlet (when used with the USB power extender cable and power adapter).

Note: The USB port on some TV’s may be unable to power a Streaming Stick+. If you see the on-screen warning message that appears in these cases, use a wall outlet.

Finally, attach the advanced wireless receiver firmly to the Roku Streaming Stick+. A poor connection will prevent your Streaming Stick+ from connecting to your wireless network and ultimately the internet.

Note: If you recently moved your Roku Streaming Stick+ from another HDMI input, or another TV altogether, make sure to check that all connections are secure before use.
