    I have same issue.  My new Roku Express 4K model 3941 with latest SW and FW can't connect to any iphone or ipad in the house.  I tried everything suggested but still nothing works.  Please keep me updated.

    Hi! 

    thank you for the update!! 

    I found out why I won’t be able to connect. 

    Both of my Roku and iPhone are connected to guest wifi. As it’s only provide access to internet and nothing else. Even both of them on the same network, I think it is something with the DNS setting.
