What is the Roku 014 50 error?
The Roku error usually shows up on your television if the TV is connected to the router but doesn’t have a good internet connection. This means either the television shows the credentials incorrectly or it shows connected but the internet isn’t connected.
Why does the Roku 014 50 error occur?
This error occurs only because the device is not able to connect to the wireless signal (wifi). If the device is unable to connect to the local error, it shows a 014 50 error.
This might be for two major reasons:
The weak strength of the signal might cause this error.
Even when the right wireless network is chosen and the password is entered correctly, the device might fail to connect to the router.
If the other devices are connected easily to the router, then there is a possibility that the password and credentials are entered incorrectly and hence the TV isn’t able to connect to the internet.

Say that even after the restart, the device is unable to connect to the router. You need to now check your router.
Here are simple steps you can follow to make that router work:
• At the back of your router, detach the cable connecting to the main network source. • Re-link the cable again after a few seconds. Make sure to check for any dust at the cable input point and clean it with a dry cloth if possible or other cleaners as permitted. • Once you have re-attached the cable, hit the reset button and hold it for a couple of seconds. • We know it’s been a long time, but try and be patient for a few moments until the router starts.
• Also, re-connect the Roku to the router using the correct credentials.
• The two already have a connection, so the devices will certainly pair.

• It is very important to note that the Roku will not connect with the wifi if it’s way far from its range or if there are many blockages in between, say, for example, walls, cabinets, or other structures that disrupt the direct connection.
However, if these steps don’t help, consider connecting either to the internet service provider or customer service at your Roku TV store or company.
