We're glad you are here so we can best assist you. To use casting, the supported app must be installed on your mobile device and Roku TV. You must also connect your phone or tablet to the same wireless network as your Roku device. You can do this wirelessly with supported apps like YouTube and Netflix by opening the casting icon on the mobile device on your phone or tablet and selecting your Roku device.

I have never been able to use Android's native cast (Cast Connect) to cast through my Roku devices. Some of my previous Android phones were able to use Google Cast to cast some content (ie. Youtube, Netflix, etc-- that symbol that allowed user to cast to TV from within the opened app.)

I just use third party casting apps now when needing to cast content from my Android mobile devices to the Roku device. My personal preference is Web Video Caster (WVC), but others like Castify and Tubio work fine also.

With all the above, you install the app on your mobile device or phone (all can be found in the Play Store), and then you install a companion receiver on your Roku device. (all found in the Roku Channel Store).

The apps mentioned above are free (with ads on phone), and all offer paid features also. WVC is a one-time purchase of $3 or $4 for an ad-free full featured lifetime use, but the free version works perfectly fine. (a few additional features with the paid version).

Is there a way to cast from my mobile device to my Roku tv using Androids screen cast feature or if I'm in a mobile app for which an equivalent app is unavailable on Roku tv? I've been able to do these functions on my Android TV.

You can of course cast to your Roku TV what you are already watching on your mobile device. To use casting, the supported app must be installed on both your mobile device and your Roku streaming device. You must also make sure to connect your phone or tablet to the same wireless network as your Roku device.

You can do this wirelessly with supported apps like YouTube and Netflix by opening the casting icon on a mobile device on your phone or tablet and selecting your Roku device. The channel will launch automatically on your Roku device and playback will begin.

If you are unable to cast Netflix from your phone to your Roku TV even though you have downloaded the Netflix app on both devices and they are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, there are a few things you can try:

Note: The Screen Cast icon may be located in different locations depending on your Android phone model and version of Android. If you can't find it in the Quick Settings panel, try searching for it in the Settings app. Additionally, not all Android phones support screen casting, so make sure your device is compatible before attempting to cast.

Yes, if its not working on the router then the router is probably using a different DNS than the droid. Netflix is constantly adding VPN + DNS servers to their block list. This is not a bug in the router. Check the DNS leak tests with all of your VPN + DNS providers when accessing Netflix. Note the difference in reported server & location.

Same Here My previous vpn was working on android but not with openvpn but when i use purevpn with netflix its working on all platforms with netflix and hulu. I think its causing by vpn or its server ip.

After several days of radio silence, VPN provider PureVPN has responded to criticism that it provided information which helped the FBI catch a cyberstalker. In a fairly lengthy post, the company reiterates that it never logs user activity. What it...

It is because netflix has blocked many vpns. You can find number of guides for express vpn accessing netflix. Also there are number of black friday vpn deals that people can avail and find another suitable vpns to access netflix in case express vpn is not accessible. Express VPN has also announced new subscription plans for Express VPN Black Friday, do check it out as it has really low prices.

I understand that, but as a consumer you buy GTV device without knowing it is not Netflix licensed (because most official Android TV devices are licensed). Xiaomi mi tv S box is Netflix licensed and it is 50 euros while i paid for GTV 155 euro (almost the same price as Nvidia Shield).

Let's say if GTV was a Netflix licensed it was worth the price. Nvidia Shield tv pr was 200 euros as blackfriday deal.

I've already tried everything and simply can't get netflix to work. Can an admin please tell me why formuler can't get it right that these devices simply get a license? What is the problem there? I think it's a real pity, you pay a lot of money and then something like that.

1. Netflix give only his partners (with over 1 Million sold devices) certification, others have no chance. If someone now say but some cheep china boxes can do this, yes but with cracked certf. and that is something Formuler will never do. Some users should realise finally that Netflix decide who get certf. and not Formuler. Formuler tried to get the certf. but what Netflix want as requirements is not possible to fulfil.

Well... it got escalated to their 3rd tier of engineer support. Apparently they are going to reach out if they have further questions, however it will get tracked and we should see something in the next update or the one after that.

Our Linksys router died recently. After not making it more than about 2 years on our last two Linksys routers, I decided to come back and give Netgear a try. I'd had good luck with them in the past. I purchased a Netgear Nighthawk R7000 Wireless Router. For the most part I am very pleased with our new router. Wired connections are fast and stable. Wi-Fi is fast and stable on either network with one exception. I cannot get Netflix to work consistently over Wi-Fi on our Samsung tablets. Every device that is wired works well and Netflix has no issues. If we use our Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 tablets to connect, the app will start and, when switching to the library/selection screen, we get the little swirling busy icon for about ten seconds, then the app crashes back to the home screen. We have no issues whatsoever if we turn our phones into mobile hotspots and connect to them. We have no issues on any other Wi-Fi networks that we have attempted to use. The only time we have this problem is on our home Wi-Fi network administered by our R7000 router.

I called tech support a few weeks ago, and they walked me through performing a factory reset on our router, thinking maybe something didn't take quite right during our initial setup. They walked me through initial setup again. Once we were done, bam!, Netflix was back and was working well. However, within a couple of days, the same problem started. The Android Netflix app was crashing on our home network. Again, no problems over mobile data and no problems on any other Wi-Fi network we checked. The problem was only exhibited through our home network. If I reset the network and perform initial setup again, Netflix will work fine again, for a limited time; anywhere from a couple of hours to a few days. Since installing our new router, I have not been able to make it more than three or four days without this problem arising and requiring a factory reset to "fix" it.

It definitely looks like it is a Linksys issue. The funny thing is, until my Linksys router died, we had no issues whatsoever. Everything worked fine with the range extender on our network. It took that router dying and setting up our new Netgear for the issue to manifest. Now though, our issues sound exactly like everyone on that thread.

On the off-chance that this could help with my issue, I looked at the link you provided and followed the instructions there. I came up with with an optimum MTU of 1500. When I check my router settings, MTU Size is already set at 1500.

Ok, it was a stab in the dark. I can't think of any reason why the R7000 could cause your Netflix app to crash. The only thing it does to the traffic is NAT. Most of the time that should be transparent to applications.

Thank you anyway for the suggestion. It was worth a shot. I'm just hoping someone may see the post and it will sound familiar to an issue they had or something and maybe they'll have a suggestion that works. I'll give it a few days and then call tech support again.

The only problem with that is that they want to ask 50 bajillion questions about things not related to the router, seemingly in hopes of steering towards the problem being something other than their equipment. I know they have to rule out certain things to get at the issue and they have a flow chart to follow, but it gets frustrating.
