The OP is using an Android TV, as stated, and Google Casting works in pretty much the same manner as with a separate Chromecast Dongle with the exception being you can set the TV up to connect via the TV rather than using the Google Cast App. I assume the TV has been setup and can see internet content, eg YouTube, via the TV interface at this point?

 

As Dunnersfella mentioned, the issue is likely with settings on the Vodafone router, I recall a similar issue occurring with an older ADSL/VDSL Vodafone supplied router a few years ago. Here's a link to some options to check off, I think there was IGMP or Multicast issues I had to resolve. This was with the Chromecast dongle, but essentially, it mean't the devices weren't talking to each other. Sorry I can't remember the exact method to resolution I found at the time.

Thanks NzBeagle!!!

 

After all of the frustration, it is all Vodafone Modem's fault that caused the google cast on the Sony TV not working...

 

So i have follow NzBeagle suggestion on his link, the first thing is to go to the AP Isolation, on my modem setting, it got a tick of the Enable AP Isolation, I immediately untick this, then modem will reset itself, woolaaa, the google cast icon on my device has show up... 

 

Finally can cast video from my device to the TV now...
