Incorrect code when connecting to Airplay on any Apple device

I have bought a Roku Express 4k few days ago and found out the screen mirroring / airplay function is not working, i keep getting the same request for the code when entering the code correctly.

I have an Iphone 14 pro with iOS 18.0.1 (latest update) and a Roku Express 4k with the following details (updated to the latest version)

 

Model: 3940EU2 - Roku Express 4K

Serial number: X02200P1AE8U

Software version: 13.1.4 • build 1510-E4

Device ID: SOHGK461AE8U

TRACKER ID : 8-405-374

( you can generate one after you see the issue by pressing the Home button 5 times followed by the Back button 5 times)

I have tried everything from restarting to latest updates, everything i could find online, because i see roku does not offer agent support for the Roku Express 4k. I have bought it for the purpose of streaming and screen mirroring, it seems sad that the product is not fit for its purpose.

Please let me know if anyone encountered this and has a fix.

Thanks.🙂

I have tried all of these things and it still fails. Updated Roku system software today (just received my express 4K), tried with both laptop and iPhone, tried switching between 5G and non-5G wifi connections...

Re: Incorrect code when connecting to Airplay on any Apple device

Hello,

I’m having the same issue with the same model Roku as the other posters.  I received mine last week also.  Here is the info that you requested above:

Device model - 3941X2 - Roku Express 4K+

SN - X02200522CAR

SW OS/Version - 13.1.4 Build 1510-E4

Tracker ID AR-413-183

I have verified the Roku and my iPhone and IPad are on the latest OS and on the same router.

Restarted both the Roku and the iPhone and iPad. 

Changed the HDMI ports

Changed TVs 

Nothing has worked.  I put in the airplay code after trying to mirror and it come back with the airplay code box over and over.

Please please fix this issue.  

Thanks,

Glenda

I upgraded my original Roku express to a Roku Express 4k for specific reason to airplay.  Mine is doing the same thing.

Re: Incorrect code when connecting to Airplay on any Apple device

Hello everyone. I have seen this issue come up a few times but nothing I have read or tried has worked so far. I have a brand new Roku Express 4K+ 3941R2 and when I enter the 4 digit code on my Macbook Pro it just continues to prompt me over and over again to enter the code. It will not connect. Yes both are on the same Wi-Fi Network.

What I have tried:

  • Turning AP off, resetting devices on AP, restarting Roku, turning AP back on.
  • Setting AP to passcode and the same issue occurs with prompting over and over to enter passcode.
  • 3941R2 Express 4K+ Software Version: 13.1.4 Build 1510
  • macOS Ventura 13.6.7
