You need to make sure that the username and password of the network that you are connecting to are correct. Otherwise, you won’t connect to the network and hence are destined to see this error code.
3] Check your Network Connection
After reconnecting to the network, if the issue persists, check your Network Connection. You can use any online service to know your bandwidth. If the bandwidth is low, contact your Internet Service Provider and ask them to resolve the issue. Once the issue is resolved and your network is working fine, check if the issue persists.

It is always recommended to use an Ethernet connection instead of a wireless network aka WiFi.

So, if your workflow or needs are more than just browsing or watching Youtube videos, you should get a wired connection. And if you are seeing these sorts of error messages and codes, then you get an Ethernet cable and attach it to your router and the TV. Hopefully, this will do the job for you.

If nothing works for you then this should be your last resort, you need to perform a factory reset on your Roku device. It will reset your device back to default settings, the one it came configured with. To do the same, go to the Roku Settings and then go to the System > Advanced System Settings > Factory Reset. Finally, open your TV and see if the issue persists.

What is this SSID?
SSID or Service Set Identifier is a unique series of characters given to your WLAN or Wireless Local Area Network.

To check the SSID of your router, enter its IP address in the address bar of a browser, and then go Interface Setup > Wireless, you can see your SSID and Password (the settings can be different depending on the connection you are using).
