While wireless screen mirroring is a handy feature, you may occasionally run into connection problems. Don’t panic—this article compiles the most common issues and their troubleshooting methods to help you resolve them quickly.
Solution: Ensure your TV, projector, or screen mirroring device is powered on and in the wireless mirroring signal waiting mode. Older devices may not support this function at all.
Solution: For Wi-Fi-based mirroring methods (such as AirPlay or in-app mirroring), make sure your phone and the mirroring device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. This is the most common cause of the issue.
Solution: In public Wi-Fi environments (e.g., offices or hotels), devices may be isolated from each other. Try using the mirroring device’s Wi-Fi Direct function or switch to a different network.
Solution: Connect the mirroring device to the 5GHz Wi-Fi band (which has less interference), or move the sending device closer to the receiver. Avoid using it near microwaves or Bluetooth devices.
Solution: If streaming high-definition videos, ensure sufficient network bandwidth. Try pausing other devices that are consuming network resources.
Solution: Restart the mirroring device and your phone/computer, and close background running programs to free up resources.
Solution: Check the router’s status to ensure a stable network connection.
Solution: In your phone or computer settings, extend the “sleep” or “auto-lock” time to prevent sudden disconnections.
- Restart your phone/computer and the screen mirroring receiver device.
- Update the device system and drivers for related screen mirroring components.
