Eighteen years after its debut, Roku remains one of the best streaming devices you can get. But despite its success, many of the company's most loyal customers may still not be maximizing their Roku experience. You may be surprised to learn that Roku has hidden menus beyond its run-of-the-mill home screen and settings. Largely, these menus function as shortcuts into your device's performance settings and metrics, helping you sideload applications, run diagnostics and edit your network settings. Although substantially less exciting than the secret menu of your local fast food chain, they can be helpful tools for everyone from hackers to regular users.
