Once your Roku is connected to your network, the IP address of your Roku device will show under Settings > Network > About or Settings > System > About
If your network separates the 2.4 GHz band and 5 GHz band, and if your Roku is on one (say, 2.4 GHz) and your phone is on the other (5 GHz in this example) then it might not see it. It really kinda depends on your network setup. But yes, usually they can see each other.
