How to Screen Mirror iPhone to Roku Without Wi-Fi

Screen mirroring between iPhone and Roku devices is a popular feature that enables users to project their iPhone screens onto Roku-supported TVs. While screen mirroring typically relies on a Wi-Fi connection, it is possible to achieve screen mirroring between iPhone and Roku without Wi-Fi, using a different approach.

Prerequisites:

To screen mirror iPhone to Roku without Wi-Fi, you will need the following:

iPhone with iOS 12 or later
Roku device with screen mirroring capability
Lightning to HDMI adapter (official Apple adapter or certified third-party adapter)
HDMI cable

Steps:

Connect the Lightning to HDMI Adapter: Connect the Lightning end of the adapter to your iPhone's charging port. Then, connect the HDMI end of the adapter to one end of an HDMI cable.
Connect the HDMI Cable to Roku: Plug the other end of the HDMI cable into an available HDMI input port on your Roku device.
Enable Screen Mirroring on Roku: On your Roku device, navigate to "Settings" > "System" > "Screen Mirroring" and enable it.
Open Control Center on iPhone: On your iPhone, swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen to open the Control Center.
Select "Screen Mirroring": In the Control Center, tap on the "Screen Mirroring" icon.
Find and Connect to Roku: Your iPhone will search for available screen mirroring devices. Select your Roku device from the list.
Authorize Connection: A code or prompt may appear on your Roku device. Enter the code or accept the prompt on your iPhone to establish the connection.
Enjoy Screen Mirroring: Once connected, your iPhone screen will be mirrored onto your Roku-connected TV.

Troubleshooting:

No HDMI Input on Roku: If your Roku device does not have an HDMI input, you can use an HDMI splitter with an HDMI input and multiple HDMI outputs. Connect the Lightning to HDMI adapter to one HDMI input on the splitter, and then connect the splitter's output to the Roku.
No Connection Established: Ensure that both your iPhone and Roku device are powered on and within range of each other. Check that the HDMI cable is securely connected to both devices.
Low-Quality Display: If the mirrored display appears blurry or pixelated, try using a higher-quality HDMI cable.

By following these steps, you can successfully screen mirror your iPhone to a Roku device without relying on a Wi-Fi connection. This method provides a convenient way to enjoy mirrored content from your iPhone on a larger screen, even when Wi-Fi is not available.
