Ever thought about taking your Roku player on vacation? Traveling with your Roku can be a snap with a little bit of forethought; we’ll show you how you can bring your favorite black box along to some of your favorite destinations.
Planning:
Broadband Internet is relatively common these days, but you should still consider the following questions:
- Will there be sufficient Internet bandwidth at the place I am staying?
- How will Roku connect to the Internet? Will I need a router or laptop?
- What type of TV will there be?
If you are staying at a friend or family member’s home, you can usually rely on a stable Internet connection and the ability to plug into a router or connect over a wireless network. You should let them know ahead of time that you will be using your Roku player –then tease them for not having one already.
Most hotels offer free Wi-Fi and it’s just a matter of plugging in
your Roku and connecting to the wireless network. There are some,
however, that require authentication beyond a password–like your room
number and name, etc.
- Internet usage at some hotels may require authentication, but once enabled, it’s usually good for a few hours. If you have trouble connecting, contact the hotel’s tech support team and ask them to bypass authentication by adding your MAC address to the system
