If you wish to set the speed of your connection for video streaming manually on the Roku video player, there is a code you can enter to access the speed override settings.

Roku: Manually Set Connection Speed 

  1. Break out the Roku remote and go to the Home screen.
  2. Use the following sequence to access the “Select a speed…” screen:
    • Home 5 times

We recommend the 3.5Mbps setting.

The “Enable playback debugging” option turns on a feature that will display the speed you are getting while playing video. This setting only works with streaming set to “automatic“.
