Roku not being discovered on network

Roku not being discovered on network

I have Nighthawk MR60 mesh system with one satellite. All my IP’s match my network. My Roku devices are on my network and appear in attached devices, they work just fine.

The issue is the devices are not found when trying to use the Roku app and when trying to screen cast my iPhone through the Roku. The Roku is an Express 4k.

All devices are on the same 5G band of our router.

I did change the DNS of our router for home internet filtering, but I’m doubtful that’s the issue.

I checked the control my devices options in the Roku settings. I even set it to permissive.

Which isn't a model. There's a lot of different surfboards and some have integrated routers. What model is it?

Re: Roku not being discovered on network

Are you using IPv6? 

If you turn off the satellite (for testing) does it work?

IpV-4

The satellite on or off doesn’t seem to matter. The Roku isn’t being discovered by my phone on the exact same network and band either way.

See if IPv6 helps. 

Also, might try contacting roku to see what they'd recommend with their device to get them recognized. 

If the phone is online and the rokup is online, the router is picking them up.
