If the error is caused by the Roblox servers, then you usually just have to wait for them to fix it and then reconnect yourself. Roblox will fix errors on their servers relatively quickly.

See if Roblox is down

The first thing you should do is see if Roblox is experiencing a down. There are lots of websites that you can check Roblox’s status on, such as downdetector.com. If they are down, then wait for them to fix the problem.

Check there isn’t a minor connectivity issue

Connectivity issues caused by your computer can happen for a number of reasons. Sometimes there can be a simple reason and so you should try these things first…

Restart your router and your computer

It’s worth restarting your router and your computer, to check that a minor issue with either of them is not the cause of the error code.

If your router is not working properly it may have caused a connectivity issue which resulted in Roblox error code 277. Likewise, a minor bug on your laptop could be the cause of the problem as well.

1. Turn your router off at the wall and unplug it
2. Wait for 30 seconds, plug it back in, and power it up

Run Roblox on a different network
