How to Troubleshoot Roku Error Code 003

We recommend that you try restarting your system first before performing the recommended troubleshooting steps for this particular issue. Remove the Roku device from the TV, unplug the power and turn off the TV. Wait at least a minute, then turn on your TV and connect your Roku device. This is very effective for refreshing the operating system, removing corrupted temporary data, and fixing most software related issues.

There are several factors that can cause this particular problem, from server issues to network security protocol issues. Here are the troubleshooting steps you need to follow to resolve this issue.

Make sure your Roku server is online

The first thing to do in this case is to check if there is a server outage or if server maintenance is in progress.

Change network security protocol

One of the reasons this problem occurs is the Wi-Fi security protocol. If you are using AES, change this to WPA2-PSK (TKIP).

Go to your router settings by entering the IP address in your browser. This address is usually located on the back of the router or in the documentation. Most likely it should be ‘192.168.8.1’.
Once setup is complete, go to Wireless or Security and make sure the security mode is not set to AES. It could be WPA2-PSK (TKIP).
After changing the security method, you can try to connect to the network from your Roku by implementing the new settings.

Use a wired connection

If the above steps do not solve the problem, connect your Roku device to the router using an Ethernet connection instead of a wireless connection. This will eliminate the possibility that your WiFi connection is causing problems.
