  1. Make sure your Roku box and the mobile device are not using the same WiFi network. So go through the wireless settings for both the devices and if you found that both are using the same network, then move any one of those to another internet network.
  2. Check if the Roku device is using a public IP address. If yes then it could be the problem as the Roku device should be programmed to use a Private IP address that falls within the range of 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0 to 172.32.255.255, or 192.68.0.0 to 192.168.255.255.

You can contact your internet provider or the person who can help you in managing your network settings to the appropriate one.
  4. If you find that your Roku has the AP isolation enabled with it, then immediately turn off the settings for it. Make sure that the mobile device is not using your VPN as the VPN applications route for managing all traffic as it might lead to the hiding of your Roku box due to which you are not able to see it in the list of discovery devices. It might resolve the issue, but in case the issue is not resolved try using another step for it.
  5. Open the discovery screen and tap on the option to “Connect Manually.” Now type in the IP address for your Roku streaming box. If you don’t know the IP address for your Roku, then open the “Settings” menu and click on “Network” to view the IP address.
  6. Try to restart your Roku mobile application: If you are using it on an iOS device, then double click on the home key and drag out the Roku app to close it.
