How to Resolve Roku AirPlay Issues

A variety of factors can cause AirPlay troubles on Roku, ranging from network issues to Roku bugs, and much more.

While it may be difficult to figure out why things went wrong with AirPlay on Roku, there are several simple remedies you may attempt to see if they solve your problem.

• If it’s not already, reboot your Roku. While simple, a restart can resolve a wide range of temporary issues, so it’s a good place to start when seeking solutions. Wait a few seconds after shutting it off before turning it back on.
• Restart your router and modem if necessary. AirPlay depends on Wi-Fi, so if you’re having trouble connecting to the internet, that may be why your AirPlay isn’t working with your Roku. Rebooting your connection and modem is an effective way to address temporary network issues.
• If you’re using AirPlay on Roku to mirror your screen, double-check that screen mirroring is enabled. The action you are taking here is merely temporary, and if your diagnosis is correct, your device will immediately begin mirroring.
• If you’re having trouble with AirPlay, start with the basic steps suggested by Apple Support. Apple recommends that you make sure your AirPlay devices are within range of one another, that both devices are up to current, and that you restart both devices.
• Restart your Roku device. Though this may appear dangerous and you should only be used as a last alternative, rebooting your Roku can cure a variety of technical problems with the Roku system. There’s nothing to be concerned about with resetting your Roku, but you will have to go through and select your settings all over again.
• Contact Roku customer service or Apple customer service. While improbable, there’s a chance you’re having a one-of-a-kind issue with your gadget. You can be sure to find out if something is malfunctioning or if there is another solution to your problem by contacting a representative from either company.
