You must fully remove it from the outlet.
Once removed from the outlet, the plug should remain out until a minimum of 60 seconds pass.
Next you must drain all the residual power from the TV by doing a soft reset.
Often, this is all you gotta do in order for AirPlay to start working again.
Move on to the next step.
Often, these appear as two separate WiFi networks, but with the same password.
Double check that both your Apple gear and your Vizio TV are on the same WiFi web connection.
Now, test to see if AirPlay is working again.
But sometimes an update or a kid playing with the remote results in AirPlay getting disabled.
So, it doesnt hurt to check and confirm that AirPlay is actually still enabled on the TV.
When the Apple AirPlay prefs appear, confirm that ON is listed beside AirPlay.
To turn off the firewall, open SYSTEM PREFERENCES on your Mac computer.
Then, go to SECURITY AND PRIVACY and then FIREWALL.
Simply select TURN OFF FIREWALL to disable it completely.
Or, choose FIREWALL OPTIONS and remove the check mark by BLOCK ALL INCOMING CONNECTIONS.
Once you notice that the update has finished installing, test to see if AirPlay is working again.
Simply switching to the TV remote may fix your AirPlay issues.
So, it doesnt hurt to just ahead and restart the router giving it a full power cycle.
To do this, press the HOME button on your Vizio TV remote.
From the menu that appears on-screen, select EXTRAS and press the OK button on your TV remote.
From the new menu that appears on-screen, select APPLE AIRPLAY and then REQUIRE CODE.
And then, RESET PAIRED DEVICES.

This step is listed last because doing this resets everything on the TV back to factory defaults.
But, sometimes a factory reset is what you have to do for get AirPlay working.
From the new on-screen menu, select RESET & ADMIN and then select RESET TV TO FACTORY DEFAULTS.
Depending on the model of your Vizio TV, you may be asked for a four-digit code.
If this happens to you, the code you need is 0000, or four zeroes.
The factory reset option does result in the TV rebooting itself.
