Lately I’m trying to figure out whether my connection issues are the app’s fault or something on the TV/router side. One day it pairs instantly, next day it just spins with no clear error. Same Wi-Fi name, no guest network, and I already rebooted everything. I don’t want to nuke settings blindly. What quick, at-home checks would help prove it’s the app misbehaving—like simple tests I can run in a few minutes before diving into resets?

From my own troubleshooting, I start by isolating variables. First, confirm phone and player are on the same SSID, then briefly disable VPN/Private Relay and re-grant local-network permission. Next, test discovery on both 2.4 and 5 GHz, and try another phone if you can—if the second phone works, that points at the app or OS. In the middle of that routine, Roku remote app is not working outlines a clear, step-by-step checklist. Afterward, re-pair from device settings and check for firmware/app updates to rule out version quirks.
