Hi @Grand2 

Welcome to the Roku Community!

Here's how you can connect your Roku to your iPhone hotspot:

1. Enable the hotspot on your iPhone.
2. Make sure that your iPhone is connected to the internet and has a strong signal.
3. Next, open the Roku app and select Settings.
4. Under Network, select Connect to a Wireless Network and select your iPhone’s hotspot.
5. Enter the password for your iPhone hotspot.

For detailed instructions, refer to this Support link for more information: How to connect your Roku® streaming device to the internet using Wi-Fi® or Ethernet | Roku.

Let us know if there's any difference after.


Warm Regards,

Lianna

Adding to the reply from @RokuLianna :

By "roku on my tv", do you mean a separate Roku device connected to your tv, or do you mean a "Roku TV" which has Roku functions built in?

If it is a separate Roku device, note that some lower end models only work with the 2.4 GHz wifi band.  If your iPhone hotspot is set to use the 5 GHz wifi band, it will never "see" a 2.4-Ghz only Roku.  To assure you can connect to any Roku model, be sure your phone hotspot is set to use the 2.4 GHz wifi band.

Thank you! I couldn’t see it listed until I turned on Maximize Compatibility under the hotspot.
