How do I fix the Spectrum error code RLC-1000?

1. Reset the network connection

When you get the Spectrum error code RLC-1000, your first course of action should be to reset your connection. Don’t just restart your router; follow these steps to reset your connection properly.

First, power off your WiFi router and Roku device. Leave these off for around 15 seconds before turning them back on.
If the first step fails to fix the error, unplug your Roku from the network connection, reconnect it and try again.
You can now reset the entire connection if both steps above fail.
- To do this, unplug the TV, router, and Roku from both the power source and the internet. Connect them all back after around 1 minute.

2. Fix Spectrum error code RLC-1000 by power-cycling the devices

First, unplug the router, Roku, and modem from the power supply and internet service.
Next, with all three devices disconnected, press, and hold the Power button of the router for around 30 seconds.
After that, plug the devices back to the power source.
- Connect them in this order: Modem first, the router next, and your Roku last.
After connecting one device, allow it to boot completely before you connect the next one.
Next, allow the router to get access.
Check if the Spectrum error code RLC-1000 message still shows up after this.

Most times, cache building up inside your machine could be the cause of the Spectrum app not working on Roku. So, this solution repairs the issue by clearing the cache for the devices in the loop.

3. Uninstall and reinstall the Spectrum TV channel manually

On the Roku, go to My Channels.
Next, locate the Spectrum TV channel from the list and then press the asterisk (*) button on the Roku remote.
Go to the Remove Channel button on the options and hit OK on the remote.
After that, using your Roku remote, open the Roku Channel Store.
Next, click on Search, then search for spectrum TV, and click Install.

Finally, launch the channel and try to recreate the Spectrum error code RLC-1000.

The Spectrum error code RLC-1000 is mainly caused by your internet connection, and the solutions above have helped loads of users resolve the problem.
