Airplay on Roku TV not working

There are several reasons why AirPlay might not be working on your Roku TV. Here’s a troubleshooting guide:

1. Check Compatibility

  • Roku TV Model: Not all Roku TVs support AirPlay. Ensure your specific model is compatible. You can usually find this information in the Roku TV’s user manual or on the Roku website.
  • Apple Device: Make sure you’re using a compatible Apple device (iPhone, iPad, or Mac).

2. Network Connectivity

  • Same Network: Both your Roku TV and Apple device must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
  • Wi-Fi Signal: A strong and stable Wi-Fi signal is crucial for AirPlay. Try moving closer to your router or using a Wi-Fi extender if necessary.
  • Router and Modem Restart: Restart your router and modem. This can often resolve temporary network glitches.

3. Software Updates

  • Roku TV: Update your Roku TV’s software to the latest version.
    • Go to Settings > System > System update > Check now.
  • Apple Device: Update your Apple device (iPhone, iPad, or Mac) to the latest iOS or macOS version.
