Pairing phones with Roku TV

Jump to solution

Hi, I'm trying to pair my Motorola G Power phone with my Roku model C222x 50in tv and it won't recognize the signal. They are both on the same wifi because I use the same router to connect to the Internet both. I don't use my mobile network at my home ever because I don't get a stable signal so I have wifi in my house and both my phone and TV are hooked up to this router on the same network. But I'm unable to pair my phone with my tv. Please help if possible. Thanks

  • Unfortunately, I tried all of those steps and I still cannot connect my phone to my previously connected RokuTV that is in my room.
