My router is an Airport Express 2, but I think it does not matter, I even tried connecting the Roku to another network, even to my phone hotspot, but same result.

Hope there is a fix soon, because it was the main reason I bought a Roku Express instead of a Fire TV.

Me too…..

Have new Roku Express 4k

Model 3940EU2

software 14.0.4 build 12221-E4

GC version 12.5.25

Issue no. ID N3-441-746

One of the reasons for buying it was ability to screen mirror from my iPhone. However this feature doesn’t work on either of my phones or iPad.

It looks like it will work initially as it’s immediately found and throws up a code. However the codes are never, ever accepted regardless of which device I choose. 

Changing to password doesn’t work as it just refuses to accept that too.

Trying the HomeKit route also fails for the same reason. Code not accepted.

I’ve tried off/on again and manual update. No joy.

I see this is a recurring issue for some over several years and I assume my Roku is defective?

Suggestions/advice welcomed, worth trying to get this unit replaced or just return as defective for credit?

Yeah, it is so frustrating. I even tried to create a new Roku account in other region, factory reset my Roku (I did that quite a few times), disable IPv6, ... And it is always the same, HomeKit does not accept the code, and Airplay ask again and again for the code on iOS even if you write the correct one.

Nothing seems to work. It seems that is only a Roku Express problem but not sure about that.

I guess that the best solution is to return the device. (I'm already looking for apple tvs)

I am having the same issue everyone else is having with a brand new Roku Ultra LT that I just purchased today Nov 12th, 2024. I have tried connecting 3 devices (iPhone, iPad, Macbook Pro) and all of them fail when entering the paiting code.  I have also tried rebooting the Roku, wifi router and Apple devices.

After seeing multiple threads of people reporting the same issue for months and not having a solution I will probably end up returnning the device as well.

Thank you for this reply.  I have already returned my express4k + with plans on purchasing the ultra hoping to catch a Black Friday sale.  Looks like Roku may not be the answer.  They can’t get the airplay to work on anything but a full tv set.  I have a TCL Roku tv and it works fine.  Guess I’ll be looking at other brands if they can’t find a fix!!

I have returned the product as no solution has been given to me. Sorry roku

I have the same problem as others have listed. i will provide the requested information; however, it seems to be a broader issue between apple and newer rokus. i did not have this problem with my older one.
